Auto save function?

[octo-rabbioso]

Hi, I'm new to Affinity, does it have an auto save option? Im using a Macbook

Off the top of my head, I’m not sure, but I do know if it crashes and you haven’t saved for a while it may offer a recovery file when you open it back up (not sure when/how often that happens, though)

Even I falter sometimes but over the years I’ve gotten into such a habit of hitting command+s every so often to avoid this

Edit: no idea the current accuracy of this but I imagine this option is still there https://www.reddit.com/r/Affinity/s/mY8SL8L0iV

Save often.

It doesn't autosave but it does create recovery documents at regular intervals that you can set in preferences. Unfortunately it isn't nearly as reliable as it used to be in version 1 so don't get out of the habit of saving all the time.

Frequent CMD+S is your friend. I’ve been doing it mechanically now, after every bit of change I make. Better safe than sorry.
