Save your work — autosave and manual save

VisionPlan autosaves your project as you draw. You don't need to remember to save — but you can press Ctrl+S any time you want the green Saved pill to flash for reassurance. Use this article to understand the indicator, the autosave interval, and what gets backed up.

Autosave

Autosave is on by default. The editor writes your project to local storage on a configurable interval — default 30 seconds, adjustable between 10 and 120 seconds in Settings → Autosave.

While you're typing in a text field — a project name, an annotation, a customer name — autosave waits. It won't fire until the field is no longer focused. This avoids dropped characters mid-typing.

The "Saved" pill

A small green Saved pill flashes in the top-right corner of the editor after each save. If you're working steadily, you'll see it tick every 30 seconds.

Manual save with Ctrl+S

Press Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac) to force an immediate save. The pill flashes the same way as autosave. This is muscle-memory comfort more than anything — autosave is already handling it — but it's there when you want it.

Ctrl+S also suppresses the browser's default "save webpage" dialog.

Cloud sync

If you're signed in, every save also pushes to your account on the portal in the background. When you open the same project on another device, the latest version pulls down automatically. This uses last-write-wins, so the most recent edit on any device is what you'll see.

Tips

• You don't need a "save and close" step. Close the tab or navigate away — your work is already on disk.
• Tweak the autosave interval in Settings → Autosave if 30 seconds feels too frequent or not frequent enough.
• The Saved pill is the simplest health check: if you're working steadily and not seeing it, something is wrong — open the feedback dialog and let us know.
