What is SaferEdit?

SaferEdit saves the article automatically while you are editing at predetermined intervals.

Where to find SaferEdit?

This is the wrong question here SaferEdit will find you!

It saves the article automatically while you are editing at predetermined intervals. If you stop editing without cancelling or saving the page, but rather, for example, switching to another article, then when you next edit the article, a dialogue opens which offers to restore the temporary version you were working on. If you leave a page in the edit view without saving, a warning message is given. In addition, the page is marked as "under construction".

Additional functions

The recovery versions are saved for the user and are only available to this user. They are not, however, deleted when he or she logs off, and are available when the user logs on again. The issue of edit conflicts often comes up here: If the page has been edited by another author, then this is shown in the StateBar, in order to let other authors know.

Tips for working with SaferEdit

SafeEdit is useful when you have just accidentally closed the input box or left it. If, on the other hand, you open a page for the first time and find old recovery versions, you can generally just delete them.
If the page is intentionally left, however, i.e. you have saved the page or clicked on "Cancel", then the existing recovery versions are deleted and are not available.
Incidentally, MagicWord can be used to switch saving off.
