 Save As Dialog Box Retains Default Location of Original Document

The Save As dialog box behavior has changed when documents from a previous version of InDesign are saved in the new version. Previously, the default folder location displayed in the Save As dialog was different from the document’s original location. Now, it displays the location from where the original document was opened.
