Save vs. auto-save

You should save your work at regular intervals by pressing CTRL + s (default shortcut) or choosing File / Save. Pay attention to the save status in the menu bar. An asterisk by the job name means the the latest changes are not saved. As an additional help, Plint will automatically save your work every five minutes.

If you take a break, and before changing status, it is especially vital that you save your file on the server. Plint will remind you to do this if you try to leave the editor without saving. As an additional precaution, the file will always be automatically saved when you click "Change status". 

Auto-saved backups:
Plint Subtitler will also regularly store a local backup copy of your work. This version will only be available from the same computer, browser and job and will be automatically loaded under certain circumstances.

Should, for example, your browser or computer crash in mid-work or if you lose your internet connection, the latest changes are probably not going to be saved on the server. When you open the same job again, on the same computer and browser, Plint will check if your local backup is more recent than the version stored on the server. If it is, the backup will be automatically loaded, so you can continue working where you left off. 

Additionally, there are intermittent backups saved for each job, as a complement to the Milestones created on each status change. If the job settings and your login type allows, these backups can be found under Review / Track changes.
