AutoSave Options

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  Autosave is over-zealous, so it saves disasters.    

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  If something goes wrong, the back button corrects it.    

What are other uses for this feature request?

  Less frequent saving reduces server load.

The Team's Response

I am going to close this on the basis of lack of definition   DMailman: Euclid the advanced editor holds over 100 actions of undo. that can help a lot with the issues you are having (I am assuming)

    From conversation on discord I believe the request is saying "The autosave is very frequent and happens really fast, can it be slowed down."   From conversation on Discord, this sounds like it's trying to be too requests - "Slow down the Autosave frequency," and then "Allow people to have the same page open on multiple tabs/devices and they update each other"   I can see people wanting a less frequent autosave, but it's a lose-lose situation because people forget to hit the save button or didn't trigger the autosave, and then are upset at losing their work either way.   The included vote is just to make this comment, because overall, I think this is two feature requests under one umbrella, and I don't really have a preference on this request other than thinking to myself that World Anvil never supported a person having two tabs of the same page being open at the same time on different or the same devices.

    Huh? This is super unclear, what feature are you proposing? Less autosave? And as an argument you say it saves disasters?   Inconsistent
