Does anyone use Auto Save or is it risky?

I’ve watched a lot of tutorials and taken a few courses and no one every uses the Auto Save. I’ve been hesitant to use it because I figure it could end up saving your file with changes you decide you don’t want. It would be helpful to me though, as I can go an hour or more before I remember to save.

Now that Nomad can save history along with files that worry seems alleviated. Is there any reason to not just turn on Auto Save now?

For me never without auto save.

IPad background reset is a killer :grinning_face:

What could be risky when you use auto save - only curious…

For me it’s the opposite - high risk without auto save.

i keep it on for the crash protection, but i still save a versioned copy manually before big changes. autosave overwriting the current file is the only risky part, since a bad change can get saved over your good state too.

Is far as I know there is a option for the auto save to get back the manual save.

Discard auto save I think - but as far as I remember I never needed it.

That sounds like a solid way to go about it, manual saves for big changes. Now that history is saved along with the file, there should be much less risk of auto save permanently keeping you from getting back to your good states.

You can always go back to the manual save state (auto save popup in file menu).
