Autosaviour Panel

1. Flyout menu

See Autosaviour Panel: Flyout Menu.

2. Panel banner

The help button on the right opens the help documentation in the Astute Manager. If this does not automatically appear, please ensure your Astute Manager is running first.

3. Last/Next Save Status Area

When a document is open which has autosaving or reminding enabled, the timers show the length of time since the last save, and the length of time until the next autosave/reminder is due. If a save operation is overdue (for example, because Autosaviour is set to remind and the reminder has been dismissed but a manual save not made), then the “Last Save” time will be displayed in red. The status line underneath indicates if an autosave or reminder is pending; if the document is unmodified since the previous save or has no settings; or if autosaving is disabled.

4. Autosave/Remind

Allows you to instantly turn autosaving/reminding off and on for the current document. This checkbox may be hidden (along with the Settings... button) by using the flyout menu item Compact Panel.

5. Backup

Allows you to instantly turn file backups off and on for the current document. This checkbox may be hidden (along with the Settings... button) by using the flyout menu item Compact Panel.

6. Settings button

Opens the full settings dialog for the current document (see Autosaviour Document Settings), or, if no document is open, the settings dialog that controls which settings to use for new documents (see Autosaviour: New Document Settings). This button may be hidden (along with the settings checkboxes) by using the flyout menu item Compact Panel. When hidden, the settings dialogs can still be accessed by using the main menu item File > Autosaviour Settings...
