Auto-Save & Auto-Backup

Nobody likes to lose their progress, and that's why this system exists. The auto save system allows you to have your project save automatically.

Locate These Settings

Step 1: Auto-save and auto-backup settings are located under project settings. From within the CYOA editor, click the settings cog in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

Step 2: Then navigate to the bottom of the right pane for a section titled "File Settings". Here you will find all the settings you need.


Auto-Save

When enabled, the system automatically save your project based on the set frequency. It is recommended you use Auto-Save with Auto-Backup to minimize the chances of data loss form accidental deletion, or file corruption.

Auto-Save Frequency

The number of seconds between each auto-save. Note, this property remains hidden until the Auto-Save property is enabled.

Example

3600 = 1 Hour

600 = 10 minutes


Auto-Backup

When enabled, the system will back-up the current save to a separate file based on the frequency. This will allow you to recover your data in the event of a corrupted or accidental save. When using auto-save with auto-backup, it is recommended, to have auto-save occur more frequently than auto-backup.

Auto-Backup Frequency

The number of seconds between each auto-backup.

Example

3600 = 1 Hour

600 = 10 minutes

Auto-Backup Max
