Saved documents go to icloud but not onto my computer. I need these things to be on the computer. How do I change this?

Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud (in the Preferences sidebar) and turn off Optimize Mac Storage.

All iCloud Drive files will then always have a local copy on your Mac. They can be accessed via the Finder sidebar or via the Finder "Go" menu > iCloud Drive.
