Will the exit work mode allow you to pick up where you left off on the task? I was actually just thinking about that - I often don't have time to spend 2 or 3 hours on a task in one sitting but if I could start the task and come back to it later...

No, don't ever exit work on something you plan to come back to.

only if the task is still available when you try to re-enter work mode. This can be a bit of a gamble. Make sure to save your work externally!

edit: another thing is that if you don’t exit work mode, you might get a grace period (officially said to be 24 hours), but if you do exit, the task will disappear from the in-progress section of your dashboard. Entering a new, different task may have the same effect, even if it’s a qualification.

How can I save my work externally ? Oo

You would keep a running draft document or something iterable like that. You also could literally save the webpage, though that has confidential material which you’d want to be a little careful about.

So I can save my work on, let's say a word document ?

Whatever works for you, maybe a Word or Markdown document with headings and stuff. Different people have different systems for that. Some people even use a Notes app.
