Configuring the auto-save time interval

By default, all modified studies are automatically saved every 10 minutes to safeguard against data loss. You can change the default time interval or disable automatic saves altogether.

When you open a project, a check is performed for a backup file for each study in the project. If one is detected, the Auto-Saved Study Found dialog appears, asking which file you want to load. When you open a study file loaded from a backup, a prompt also appears, asking you to save it. Once the study is saved, the backup file is deleted.

  1. Click Application button then Options. The Options dialog appears.
  2. On the General tab, either:
    • Deselect Auto-save every to disable automatic saves, or
    • Enter a time interval in minutes for the Auto-save every option.
  3. Click OK.
