Is Auto-Save still next-to useless?

In both CS-2 and 3, AutoSave(d) files are deleted if the program crashes (while working in a project)... Is 4 the same?

I have learned the hard way to be sure and hit "save" every time the autosave flashes across the screen. On a half dozen occasions over the past two years, I forgot to do so and of course had a crash. I just learned my lesson again today in cs3. A crash is somewhat rare, but when it did, and I was not able to hit save, all the auto save files that were generated during that project session (since the last full save) were lost - I am sure of it. I'd like to say try it, but....

Feature Request: Auto-save in Background

Here's a feature request I've submitted. If you agree, please submit your request to:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:
Background Auto Save
How would you like the feature to work?
Auto-save would work just as it does today, except it would work as a background process, as it already does in Photoshop (without the Autosave popup getting in the way of the edit).
Why is this feature important to you?
The current autosave feature is terrifice and expected in any application today, but the current autosave popup dialog is useless. It only has a "Cancel" button. What's the point? I can't imagine when I would ever want to cancel an auto-save. And let's say I *did* want to cancel. The dialog is only on screen for a second or so. That's not enough time for user interaction, but it is just enough time for my work to be interupted, and for me to potentially hit the enter key as I go to Render something at precisely the same time.

Hi cscouper2013,
Thanks for taking the time to point out that my BSODs might be a problem with my RAM! Yes, I'll test it with the program you mention.

While I'm thinking of it, too. Sometimes Premiere will do an auto save only moments after I've done a hard save. That also seems like something to address in the next auto save feature update. If I have my autosave increment set to 5 minutes, then it seems to me there's no need to do an autosave for another 5 minutes after my last manual save.
I fully agree! That's something I requested during the CS5 beta program. I requested that every time a user does a manual save, the Autosave reset its counter. So for example, if the delay is 10 minutes between auto saves, and the user does a manual save two minutes before the next scheduled autosave, the autosave counter resets to 10 more minutes. But with the better solution of the current project constantly being saved after each edit, as Jim suggested, this feature wouldn't even be needed anymore.
MonkeyEatsMonkey wrote:If Premiere could "borrow" that functionality, while still retaining a "save as" option for versioning, I feel like we'd have the best of both worlds. It would even make dynamic linking more seamless, since changes wouldn't require saving. Any thoughts from the community on this?
That would be a perfect solution IMO! And yes, retaining the 'Save As' option would be very important!
I also like the idea of automatic versioning/backups (could be renamed to 'versions' since with a constantly saved project file, automatic 'backups' would no longer be necessary.
To resume, based on what has been discussed in this thread, I believe these would be the ideal saving options in Premiere:
Autosaving of every edit in the background without slowing down editing performance (as suggested by Jim).
Ability to create a user defined number of automatic backup versions, by setting maximum number of versions and time intervals (as is currently the case with Premiere).
In other words, the current project file would constantly be updated as the user edits. The automatic backups/versions would be created at user defined intervals.
Users would retain the ability to create a copy of the current project at any moment through the 'Save As' and 'Save a Copy' commands that already exist in Premiere.
Pop-up Auto-save dialogue boxes and the 'Save' command would be a thing of the past!
IMO, this would truly give us the best of both words as MonkeyEastMonkey suggests: constant saving as per FCPX, with the comprehensive versioning options Premiere currently offers.
Anything missing?

Auto save not working

I am running AE 13.1.1.3 and it is not auto-saving. I tried setting a target folder and using the 'next to project' setting.
No files are being created and I have lost a large amount of work as a result of this as my computer keeps crashing due to other Adobe software related issues.
Even if I don't save manually and make changes, no auto-saves are created.
Is this a bug with the new version of AE?

Hi Mike,
What version of Premiere Pro do you have installed? There were a few changes that should help in build 8.0.1.
It sounds like your familiar but just in case I'll explain it here for others. Autosave will not trigger exactly at the preference value, we look at a window of inactivity around the value to try not to be annoying. Example, if it is set to 5 minutes it will aim at firing between 4:30 and 5:30. Of course if you are doing something like playing during that time that will block it.
Keep in mind if you are not doing actions that dirty the project file (i.e. trim media, adding effects) there will be no autosaves.
Hope this info is useful.
If you're still seeing issues outside of this scope can you please provide more details about your system configuration?
Thanks,

Auto-save didn't!!

After nearly 4 hours of editing in PE7, I got the Windows XP error message telling me that the program had encountered a problem and needed to shut down. Just before that, I had clicked on the button to make a DVD. My first reaction was that I wouldn't have lost much because auto-save was enabled, with saves every 20 minutes. However, virtually no edits had been saved. Looking at the PREL files in the autosave folder, I saw that there had been three saves from three hours previous, before I had done much work. For some reason PE7 had stopped autosaving. In preferences, auto-save is still enabled. I have both versions 3 and 7 installed on my PC, and this project was originally started in 3, so many files are saved in the version 3 folders including the PREL files, if that matters.
Any ideas what went wrong? I know that auto-save used to work reliably. Searching the forum and knowledgebase turns up nothing about this problem.
(my computer is a PC with an Intel 6700 Duo Core Pentium CPU and 2G of RAM running Windows XP Pro SP3)
Additional: I now see in the help file something I didn't notice before. It states "Note: Each time you open a project, you must save it at least once before the Auto Save option takes effect." I don't recall having manually saved it even once, yet it did auto-save three times, as mentioned above.

Thanks guys. I may set a timer to remind me to do my own saves next time. The autosave periods were the default 20 minutes, and I still don't understand why there were 3 saves early on, during a time when I was away from the computer. Only after I resumed working did that function stop. One more thing: the help file says that when restarting after a crash I should have seen a message asking if I wanted to resume from the last saved configuration, or something like that. There was no such message. Also, I see that the autosave PREL files are contained in the Autosave folder, but there is also a PREL, apparently the newest one, in the file path one level higher where all of the data files are contained.
This is a little bit away from the original question, but can I now delete version 3 since I'm (generally) satisfied with V7. I don't want to jeopardize the current project, which still has some more editing to be done, especially after losing the aforementioned edits.
One more thing: would increasing RAM from the current 2 gigs help prevent a crash like the one the occurred.

TUTORIAL: Disable Auto Save, Versions and bring back Save As

1. Quit the app(s) you want to configure.
2. Launch Terminal.
3. Paste the command below in the Terminal window, then replace 'name of app' with the name of whatever app you want to configure (e.g. 'textedit'), before hitting Enter:
defaults write -app 'name of app' ApplePersistence -bool no
Alternatively, you can configure all apps at once with the following command:
defaults write -g ApplePersistence -bool no
I don't recommend doing this, though, because, for some reason, it slows down the login process considerably.
For TextEdit only, you also need to run another command, as a workaround for errors that prevents it from functioning correctly:
defaults write -app textedit AutosavingDelay -int 0
4. Relaunch the app(s).
5. Enjoy you considerably less infuriating Mac!
If you don't see any changes, a relogin will in most cases do the trick (if not, the app probably uses a non-standard saving mechanism).
Please note: Although this brings back Save As in most apps, this is sadly not the case with Preview and iWork.
To undo any of the above commands, run:
defaults delete -app 'name of app' ApplePersistence
defaults delete -g ApplePersistence
defaults delete -app textedit AutosavingDelay
P.S. If you want to remove data already stored by Versions, you need to delete the hidden .DocumentRevisions-V100 folder in the root directory of your disk(s).

Why?
Because the "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" setting doesn't actually turn off Auto Save and can cause loss of data.
Because the Save As "feature" in Mountain Lion, isn't actually the traditional Save As that OS X had prior to Lion, but a useless, mock version that is likely to cause data loss.
Because Apple still refuses to offer any way of disabling Versions.
Or, in other words:

I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless a dealer. I do no have on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in ea

I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless you are a dealer. I do not have passwords on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in each time for security. My password for this site will only work a short WHILE, AND THEN it will not be recognized by the site and I cannot get in.
Then I must contact the company to reset or clear it manually on their end so it can be reset. They always give me the SAME SETUP PASSWORD to use. I use it, then I RESET PASSWORD on my end. The computer seems to remember my user NAME AT least on my computer as it comes up once I start typing the username in. They SAY IT is a settings issue on my end. I do not have this problem on any other site even THOSE WITH higher SECURITY. I need to FIX the issue OR may LOSE ACCESS To the site as is very aggravating for them and they say other have had the problem but usually with chrome but never constantly.I am not that computer literate ,but my husband is an IT Security professor and textbook writer but says doesn't really know Firefox. I do not really want to store passwords on computer as have been hacked several times. He and I do not understand some of the terms mentioned. since it is not a problem with other sites it should be fixable. Please me help using terms I or my husband can understand without having to give Firefox all my passwords. I would be happy to set up something different just for this one site if I need to but need easy instructions. Have cleared the cookies before but it still happens. What setting do I need to change or set to fix this? the other questions that come up seem very different and do not apply. FF 22 now but happened w other FF versions.

I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
Let's start with Firefox's settings:
(1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
Related articles:
* [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
* [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
(2) Site-specific permissions
If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
(3) Form autocomplete suggestions
Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

How do I auto save all newly created contacts to a pre-determined group in Maverick? Could do this on iTunes, can't do it on iCloud...

Hi,
Before upgrading to Maverick, I used to sync all my contacts via iTunes.
iTunes used to have an option to "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to: (drop-down)".
I had created a group called ' RECENTLY ADDED ', so that every time I saved a new number whilst meeting people / networking, etc, it would auto-save to that group. I would then sync via iTunes, and voila- all my new contacts would be in there.
As a marketer, I allocate my contacts into various complicated groups... so from there, I would proceed to move each contact into their relevant group, and then 'delete' from group (not delete completely). I would repeat this step until all contacts were moved out, leaving an empty 'recently added' group.
The next time i was out networking/saving new numbers, the process would repeat...
Now that I have upraded to Maverick and using iCloud syncing, I cannot find this feature.
The previous method I used worked brilliantly, and I do not always have time to add notes, etc (for a smart group) when saving new numbers.
I'm struggling to find a solution now that I'm using the iCloud syncing service...
Any suggestions to make it easy??

If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.

CS6 Auto-Save: 1 step forward, 1 step back

I have done a little testing with the auto-save, and there is some progress with CS6 - especially in the area where earlier versions would stop playback or scrubbing to fire off an auto-save.
It looks like the auto-save does not stop playback or scrubbing on the timeline anymore. It will stop you from other operations such as moving an audio slider or other non-critical mouse clicks. I tested with 1 minute intervals, and it appears that it won't auto-save during playback or scrubbing in the background, and will wait until the next interval after playback has stopped until it saves. (Instead of taking the very next possible moment after playback has stopped to makeup for the save) This seems like it could create the possibility that if you are playing back or scrubbing during multiple interval moments, you could have a long period where there are no auto-saves - especially if you set the interval to a high number. Like I said, I only tested with a 1 minute interval, so maybe this functions differently if you save every 10 or 20 minutes. Maybe then it will do an auto-save right after playback has stopped if it has been awhile.
The step back is that if you hide PPro, (I'm on a Mac, btw) instead of just bouncing the dock icon during an auto-save like previous versions, it will actually bring PPro to the front and block out/cancel anything else you are doing on your machine. How annoying! I can't figure out the reason to have it function like this. If it is simply hidden behind other windows, it does not do this, instead only brings to the front the small auto-save progress bar - It only happens if you hide the appplication. For example, if you are moving back and forth between PPro and AE, you could be working away on a comp in AE and suddenly PPro jumps to the foreground to let you know it did an auto-save. Since I have 2 monitors, I like to hide apps that I'm not working in to hide pallettes and other windows so I can have my desktop back. Seems like the solution for now is to not hide PPro ever and to do a proper save more often to avoid the issue of potential long periods of no auto-saves. (And submit a bug report?)
Anyways, long post for a potential trivial thing, but for those who care about this, it is a change. Anyone else experiencing this?

Jim,
Exactly, and that is what the "1 step forward" is with CS6. It drove me crazy when Auto-Save would interrupt playback. I was suggesting that it would be a better option that if you are playing back during an auto-save interval, it should take the very next opportunity to fire off a save, like maybe after hitting stop when there is a moment of downtime. However - in my testing - it looks like it skips that interval completely and waits for the next one. So, if you have it set to save every 10 minutes, but are playing back your timeline during each of those 10 minute intervals, it will never auto-save even if there are large stretches of time in between when you are doing nothing. It seems like it could be more intellegent about when it saves, and do it quieter in the background.

How to auto save and pre-fill some textfields

first time i open a pdf, there are some textfields. they are all empty.
i click on a button to call a web service. this returns some text and fill in those textfields.
if one of these textfields, "message", has got an auto-filled text "success", then the pdf needs to remember the text in some of the rest of the fields. next time when the user open it, those fields should be with the text generated last time.
notice that the "Do you want to save the file" auto-popup window won't meet my requirement. even if the user clicks on "no" for this popup window, now that i get a "success" transaction from the web service, the fields should be saved.
i read through this, but may not be able to use it. i only have LiveCycle Designer ES3. I don't know how those adminui or process work.
http://livecycleapps.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/livecycle-es2-using-action-profiles-to-pre-f ill-a-form-for-display-in-workspace/

Hi,
in Designer ES3 there is an Auto Save option in the form properties you can activate.
Remember, the form needs Usage Rights to be savable through Reader, so you need Acrobat to apply those rights to your form first.

The auto save function will not turn off.

While opening some files, I get- "This document was not closed properly, and some of your changes weren't saved. Do you want to recover these changes or discard them?
Niel helped me to figure out that this was happening because the save option and recent items option was checked in the appleworks preferences. I unchecked the "auto save" and "recent Items" options in appleworks preferences>General>files settings window and It seamed to work for awhile but now the problem is back.
I don't know why, but the "Auto Save" folder inside the appleworks User Data folder, which is inside the Documents folder is still saving data.
Can someone please help?
Marco

Greetings Peggy,
Nice write up link! I deleted "appleworks 6 preferences" in home file>library>Preferences>Appleworks folder (and the com.apple.appleworks.plist). Then turned appleworks back on and went to preferences>general settings and unchecked the "auto save" and "recent Items" options in appleworks preferences. I noticed the "make default" option button didn't light up. Do you think that is a problem?
The "document was not closed properly" problem happens about every two days or so. I haven't been able to duplicate what ever I'm doing. I'll wait and see, and let you know.
Thank you very much.
Marco

FCPX undo / auto save bugs + RAM Hog - Possible Fix?

Hi there FCPX users,
I have a 8-core 2010 Mac Pro with 16GB Ram and the stock GPU running Lion 10.7.2
I have been using FCPX since day dot, and have been overall very pleased with its super fast work flow and realtime capabilities.
I have completed over 100 3-4min edits with average project size of 50GB, and a bunch of wedding edits with approx 150-200GB project sizes. The issues I had with 10.0.0 - 10.0.1 were mainly FCPX quitting unexpectedly.
And now on 10.0.2 I have expereinced the well known auto save / greyed out undo bug. I have gone through all the steps via apple care which included:
Trashing the Prefs, repair permissions, check drive space / correct format, new user account and clean install of lion / Final Cut X.
I am still experiencing this issue. So yesterday I purchased another 16GB Ram totaling now to 32GB Ram, and I monitor the RAM usage via "Free Memory".
I Noticed that if my RAM is running low, I "free Memory" without quitting FCPX and continue to work as normal, and so far I have not yet experienced the issue again.
Dont know if this is a temporary fix, but it has worked for an hour long edit (approx 6-7 hrs without restaeting FCPX).
Also, I have noticed FCPX will eat up 16-20GB RAM quite easliy.
Not sure if this problem is related to RAM...
My 2 cents.

You have to really be conscious when you start a new project and how and where you manage your footage.
No one has complained more than I have about FCPX's quirky behaviors and it can be frustrating. I have worked with FCPX since day one, even tried to get a refund but couldn't. After using it for a while now, it is very easy to get used to how fast some elements are in editing and reviewing a lot a footage. But several things you have to make sure of that will keep the rendering speed up and less crashing happening.
First make sure that you can see how much space you have on your drives by right clicking in the main window of you screen and make the necessary clicks form the drop down menu. Make sure any drives you have been doing projects with lately are hooked up and do a secure empty trash. Its cool to see how much space you regain. 2) make sure that FCPX, Motion and Compressor (if you have those are installed on your boot drive).
3) Create a FCPX Projects folder on an external (FW800) with at least 75% of its drive space available if you do not have secondary drive installed in your computer. (Its very important to note that any drive you use for any aspect of editing should never be more 75% full, especially your boot drive.) This is where FCPX will log all of its operating files for all of your projects.
4) Either copy all of the other FCPX files from your main hard drive and paste then into the new folder you created. Then delete all of those files, as well as any Motion files too! (Do the same as you did for FCPX in the previous step)
5) If you need to move all of your music files to another drive as well. If its iTunes, you will have to tell iTunes where to look for the new files and it will populate accordingly. This will free up a tremendous amount of space. Make sure to delete them form the main drive.
6) Remove any junk programs form the boot drive (main) or move them to another drive if possible.
7) Now do another secure empty trash and watch your drive space return.
8) Now open up FCPX and make sure you only create projects on your new drive by clicking on that drive in the project window. Any older projects you can simply pull them to the other drive and you will be prompted on how to duplicate that project and all its files to that drive. Delete the other ones.
9) Only capture footage to you external drives. Save it there until you need it.
10) Create all new projects on the secondary drive and pull any footage you are working with on that drive as well. By keeping it all off the Boot drive FCPX will run much smoother and faster, especially if you have at least 16g of Ram, which I recommend.
So to re-cap:
1. Keep your boot drive lean. Delete anything you can move to another drive. Do not set up events and or projects to it...never!!!
2 Use you secondary drive for your project files and the video you are working with in your events.
3. Store raw footage on a FW800 drive ready to move to your secondary drive.
4. Use secure empty trash after all editing sessions when you are certain of your trash contents.
Doing these things have greatly increased much more consistently faster render times and much fewer crashes.
iMac 27 - 3.5gh - 16GB Ram - Quad i7 - 250SSD/1TBesata - External FW800 Drives
Good Luck

Auto-Save Option pleaseee

Please we need an autosave daemon or similar, so the work can be saved in case of tragedy. Photoshop crashes from time to time and if you forgot to save it's so frustrating... I've just lost 2 hours of hard work and it's not my first time..
Hope you implement something similar like the Auto-Save in Microsoft Word...
Cheers

Have you done a Forum search on the issue?
Because it has come up previously and some people think it would not really be a good idea.
Suppose Photoshop were to start saving several-GB-files where the saving process might take several minutes (probably the only halfway plausible reason for working without saving for considerable lengths of time) in the background – as a laymen I would expect this could cause a sudden and considerable drag on Photoshop’s performance.
But then I could be wrong …
I've just lost 2 hours of hard work and it's not my first time.
If it’s not the first time I wonder why you still work such lengths of time without saving.
Anyway, there’s one comfort: One is usually much faster doing an image the second time.

Auto-Save-Option with increasing filenames (counter, timestamp eg.)

Hello!
I want to pdf a job of 30.000 single printer pages, which are generated by a computer programme.
I'm able to choose the Autos-Save-Option by setting a dedicated folder at the printer settings. But there ist no option to install an increasing filename (counter, timestamp eg.). For that reason Acrobat overwrites the previous file each time (30.000x).
In some freeware-tools this funktion is implemented. Where or in which version can I find this funktion in Adobe Acrobat?
Thank you for your help.
Greetings from Germany!

Hi, HiddenMist,
Following the suggestion, I have removed all information I can remove. I have set all settings to "contacts only" that can be set to such. I cannot change my avatar because I cannot save changes (without adding my last name, which is currently blank). I have left everything blank that I can leave blank. I have been contacted three times after I have made these changes, as suggested.
In the Windows Desktop version of the Skype software, I can navigate to my profile settings: Skype -> Profile -> Edit your profile.
My work-around still works ... for me, at least, which is why I continue to recommend it.
Hi, Bartholomue, and welcome to the community,
Did you know that if you look up how to delete your name from the Skype directory, it says that you are effectively disabling your account? Your name will not show up in searches, and it will remain in the contact lists of those who have already added you, but those contacts will no longer be able to call you.
Yes, indeed, this is true.
Best regards,
Elaine

Texture Artists: Auto Save As Type

I have used photoshop for years now. Mostly I do texture's for virtual enviornments. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature that allowed the users to automate saving as different file types from a PSD. Let me give you an example:
Current Versions:
I am working on a texture for a chair. I have one PSD named Chair.psd that has tons of information in it. Once I finish the texture, I have to goto save as --> targa (it auto renames to chair copy.tga) ---> rename it to Chair_DIF.tga --> save --> select 24 bit --> save. Finally I have it saved. Now I have to change a few layers I have set, or hide some and then save it as Chair_SPEC.tga and sometimes Chair_EMS.tga, Chair_NRM.tga. Once I am done with all that I can test it on the model in 3d... if a change needs to be made, I have to make it and then go through that whole process again. It is very repatative and pointless. Many times I have to do it 20+ times...
New Feature:
Allow the user to enable a special mode through the main PS preferences designed for texture artists. It adds a new drop down menu next to help labeled 'Auto Save As' or something. When you select it to drop down, it only has one option, 'new'. You hit 'new' and it brings up a dialog of what you want to call the new profile, what filetype, where the file should be saved, and and options the file type selected would normally have. For the filename, you should be able to choose if you want a whole new name, or just add a suffix or prefex to the PSD name. Once youe done, you hit create and it saves that profile to the PSD your working with. This is important, the options should save to the PSD. That way, any time you open up a file, it is automatically set to the save options and locations you want for that texture. From then on, any time you drop down that list, a texture artist could just click Diffuse Map, and it would auto save it to the proper location, filetype, and name. You could create one for anything you want: Specular, Normal, Emmisives, Balding, and so on.
I beg you, please add this option in the next version of PS!

So much love. However, it adds the layer comps index number to the file names on save. I suppose this would be good if you had comps the same name. However, I don't, so I changed the script manually and commented out that code.
If anyone comes across this thread and wants to know how to remove the indexing of the file names, you can open up the Layer Compes to File script in notepad or any text editor and comment out the line:
fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(compsIndex, 4);
Simply add // in front of it. So it should look like:
//fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(compsIndex, 4);
However, I must warn you, if you do have comps the same name it won't work. It will save over the previous comps that have the same name...
Thanks again J.

Flash CS5.5 Auto-Saves Even When Auto-Save is Turned Off In Preferences

So I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, and in the preferences, I have the "Auto-Recovery" set to "5 minutes", and it's turned OFF. However, about every minute or so, my projects auto-save. It's annoying because it freezes it for about 2 seconds. It's especially annoying when I'm in the middle of drawing something or doing something like that. It screws me up, and it's annoying. It's DEFINITLEY turned off, and it auto-saves for me still. Yes, I KNOW it's definitley auto-saving, because the asterisk (*) in the project title disappears after it's done loading for 2 seconds every minute. Help. Thanks.

Hi ,
Autosave and Auto- recover is two different option . If you need to disable or set the Autosave options please follow the steps below :
1 ) Create a New Document dialog box has an option to set Autosave OFF & ON
2) In Document PI under Properties section click on wrench image i.e Edit document properties button and turn ON / OFF Auto -Save option.
I hope this help.
Thanks
