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.

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 change status or leave the editor without saving.

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 you lose your internet connection before you have time to save,connection, the latest changes are probably not 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 which can only be accessed by project managers.
