Auto Backup

This feature automatically backs up a copy of the file you are working on, periodically - roughly every 60 seconds.

If the application crashes and a file isn’t closed properly, when you load the file again a message is displayed asking if you want to recover the most recent backup.

• Click Recover to recover the last backup of the file.

• Click Cancel to dismiss the message.

Recovering the Backup Later

Clicking Cancel means that there are no further messages displayed about the backup file.

If you start work on a different file (after clicking Cancel) you can recover the backup of the crashed file later. To recover the backup:

1. On the Main menu, click File.

2. Click Recover.
