 Autosave in Moodle 2.8 If you use the Atto Editor for creating and editing text in Moodle 2.8, your content will be automatically saved at regular intervals. The default is every minute, but the administrator can change this in the Atto HTML editor settings. This new feature means your work is secure if you accidentally lose your page. Here's a student typing a forum post, and as she types text into the box, you can see at the bottom left a message appears, draft saved, and as she continues to type, or pauses for thought, the message will reappear reassuring her that the content is preserved. So what happens if she accidentally loses the page or loses the connection? When our student returns to the forum post, the content is still available, and there's a message that a draft version of this text was automatically restored, so our student can continue with her post.
