9. Just do everything you plan on doing to the copy you saved to the cloud

Assuming this is windows, just press Ctrl-S whenever you've made some progress you want to make sure isn't lost. Apple I think it's Cmd-S.

When you're happy and feel like this is the final version, assuming you really want an archival copy, burn that file to a blank CD-R.

While it is, in theory, possible to keep adding 'stuff' to a CD-R, generally it's a hassle and flaky process. You should just assume whatever you burn to a disc, you do it all at once, and then that disc is 'done'.

Just an FYI, there's this wacky new technology we have nowadays that's known as a 'USB Thumb Drive'. They're quite a bit more handy than burning things to disc, and really don't cost much
