Saves, auto-save and sessions

You never have to remember to keep a copy. Every save is one, of the whole book.

Every save is a version

When you save, every scene, entry and note you’ve changed is written together, and the whole project is kept as one version. Changes made while Septangular was closed, in another program say, are kept as a version of their own the next time the book opens.

Auto-save

Auto-save does the same every five minutes while there are unsaved changes. In the Versions sidebar, set it to every minute, every half hour, anything between, or off. It’s kept with the book.

Sessions

Closing the book, or thirty minutes without typing, marks the end of a writing session. The list shows sessions and snapshots, grouped by day, with the latest version at the top; Show every save lists every one.

Nothing to install

It’s Git underneath, the system programmers use to keep the history of their code, but you never see it. There’s nothing to install or learn, and the history lives in a hidden folder inside the book’s own, separate from anything else on your computer.
