Documentation: AutoSave

Who does not know the problem. You work at home or on the go and the internet connection is lost exactly at the moment you want to send a detailed comment.

AutoSave adds a safety net to your Jira instance and periodically saves comments in your local browser as draft, so they don’t get lost in a case of failure.

AutoSave automatically starts working after installation.
After Adding more than 10 characters in a comment field, AutoSave automatically stores the information, for max 7 days, in your local browser, so you can restore it any time.

If a draft is saved, you’ll notice a „Restore Draft“ button in the bottom of the Jira editor.

Drafts are Removed from the browsers storage after clicking on „Add“ or „Cancel“ as well as after 7 days.
