This is just to prevent an article from getting saved before the title, alias, and other formatting details have been chosen. Don\u2019t worry about forgetting this, as every new article will have a warning included reminding you to fill in basic configuration details and save before relying on the autosave extension.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"78\" class=\"wp-image-89762\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/08-autosaveWarning.png\" alt=\"joomla autosave extension warning\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/08-autosaveWarning.png 791w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/08-autosaveWarning-300x39.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/08-autosaveWarning-768x100.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other\">Other Ways to Autosave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The autosave extension is not the only way to add autosave functionality to your Joomla page. The popular Joomla Content Editor, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/joomla\/joomla-4\/joomla-4-jce\/\">JCE Extension<\/a> also has a built-in autosave feature. The main difference between JCE\u2019s autosave and the Autosave extension is that the JCE saves content to the browser, while the autosave extension directly writes to the Joomla database. Saving to the database protects your data in a wider variety of situations, but also requires you to follow the configuration steps above to keep the extension functioning correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"jumbotron\">Discover how InMotion Hosting's virtual private servers can deliver power and performance for your Joomla site with our reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/joomla-hosting\">Joomla Hosting<\/a> plans.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joomla has a lot going for it as a content management system, but one common complaint is a lack of built in autosave.
