How it Works

After the specified interval (by default, one minute), any changes made in Bizagi Modeler will be saved automatically. While AutoSave is in progress, the Save button icon will change to indicate that the process is running:

In case of failure, AutoSave will attempt to run up to three times. If it still fails, an informational message will appear at the top of the menu, allowing you to manually Save As to another location. Additionally, AutoSave will be disabled until further action is taken.

Modify the Time Interval

By default, AutoSave runs every one minute after being enabled. You can modify this interval by adding the following key in the BizagiModeler.exe..config file, located in the C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Local\Programs\Bizagi\Bizagi Modeler route and changing the value field to the desired number of minutes in the following tag:

<add key="MinutesToRunAutoSave" value="1" />
