Description
Hi
There is a tutorial for 'working with patches' and a section 'applying a patch': https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/tutorials/working-with-patches/#applying-a-patch
- Downloading a Patch
.
.
.
To download a patch, right-click on the filename in the Attachments section of the ticket (just below the Description section), select Save Link As in the context menu, and save it to a folder called patches.
Issue: When i follow above steps (Save Link As) to save patch, it saves patch but it does not apply. but when i click on Download icon, it save patch and apply without any issue. So i think, correct method to save patch is 'Click on Download Icon to Save patch' instead Save Link As.
System: Window 10 (64 bit), Firefox 53.0.3 (32 bit), TortoiseSVN 1.9.5, Build 27581 - 64 Bit
Also i have notice that file downloaded by download icon is different than downloaded by save link as...

Hi @rinkuyadav999, thank you for the ticket!
You're right, the instructions were incorrect. I've updated that paragraph and changed the screenshot.
In the future, please report any issues with WordPress.org handbooks on Meta Trac or in the #docs channel on Slack. Thanks!
