New in EE 2.0: Autosave (sort of)

After losing some work while writing in EE, Jamie Rumbelow learned of the partially-implemented autosave feature in EE 2.0.

One of the great new features that have been implemented in the EE2 BETA is autosaving. With autosaving enabled and the publish page open, the system will repeatedly save the current post you’re working on, so if the unforgivable happens and you loose your post, you can get it back from the autosave feature. Unfortunately, in 2.0, autosave isn’t enabled by default, but it’s easy enough to do.

Jamie provides instructions on how to set that in your config.php file. As he notes in his blog post, autosave is only working for the edit form and not for the publish form when you’re creating a new entry.
