Document recovery
While you work, WordCraft keeps a copy of every document with unsaved changes, new drafts included. If WordCraft or your computer crashes, you can get them back.
Get your work back
Section titled “Get your work back”Open WordCraft again. If it has copies from the last time, it opens the Recover page and lists them. You can also open it at any time with File › Recover.
- Restore opens the copy as a new, unsaved document. Choose File › Save As to keep it. Restoring never changes your original file.
- Discard deletes the copy, after asking you first.
- Continue without restoring leaves the copies there for later.
If you had several documents open, each one has its own copy.
What is kept
Section titled “What is kept”- A copy is made at most every 10 seconds, and only when the document has changed. The last few seconds of typing before a crash can be lost.
- When you save a document, or close it and choose not to save, its copy is deleted.
- Copies are kept until you save or discard them. They aren’t deleted after a set time.
- Copies are kept only on your computer. There’s no cloud backup or version history.
Documents with a password
Section titled “Documents with a password”WordCraft doesn’t keep recovery copies of password-protected documents, because the copy wouldn’t be protected. Save these often.
In the web version
Section titled “In the web version”The web version doesn’t keep recovery copies. Save often.
