The extension SaferEdit automatically saves a page at predefined intervals. If the page cannot be saved during editing (e.g., due to a browser crash), the unsaved user changes will be preserved for the user until the next page save.
About autosaved changes
Recovery version: A recovery version is saved every 10 seconds during editing and is only available to this user. It is not deleted when logging off and available when the user logs on again.
So if you have an issue with saving the page (e.g. lost internet connection) make sure to leave the page open until you can resave the page.
Edit conflicts
When a user has a page open in edit mode, the page shows a page banner to indicate that changes are being made.
The first person to save the page that was edited by multiple users can save the page without issues. The next person needs to work through a page that will indicate the changes of the first person. They will have to be merged with the changes of the second person.
It is advisable that only one user at a time works on a wiki page.
User settings
Users can set in there preferences under the tab Editing if they want to see a warning message when they leave the page without saving pending changes. This setting is activated by default.
Configuration
In the Config Manager, administrators can change the following settings:
- Interval for lookup for concurrent editings: Sets the time in seconds for checking if another person is editing the page.
- Show name of current editor: Shows or hides the name of the user who is currently editing the page.
