Editor basics
Autosave explained
Updated 2026-08-27
Waxba kuma baahnid badhan kaydinta, shaqadaadu si toos ah bay u kaydaantaa dadharkii, waxyna kuu muuqataa 'Saved'.
There is no save button because you never need one. A few moments after you stop typing, Abuur saves your changes by itself. The indicator at the top of the editor shows what is happening:
Saving… means your latest changes are being written. Saved means everything up to that second is safely stored. If the dot is green, you can close the editor whenever you like and lose nothing.
Saved is not the same as published. Saving protects your work; publishing shows it to the world. Customers only see changes after you press Publish.
This split is deliberate: you can experiment freely, try a bold colour, rewrite your headline, and your visitors see nothing until you decide the result is ready.
If the indicator ever sticks on Saving… for more than a minute, your connection dropped. Do not close the editor in a panic, reopen it later and check the Versions panel; recent saves are listed there.
