<p>So that I can properly troubleshoot:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Do you have the auto save file preference enabled?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Is the file being changed by any other application while open?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Is the file in your iCloud documents folder, a Dropbox folder, or anything like that?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>What version of macOS are you using?</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks,</p>

The "Revert", "Cancel", and "Save" all seem to function as expected.</p>
<p>The appearance of the "Revert" button does imply that the macOS auto save behavior is enabled.</p>
<p>Let me know more details about exactly what is not working as expected.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

Now I'm getting confused about auto-save. I have it enabled, but now if I close the file, or exit Multimarkdown after making changes I don't get any prompts and my edits are not saved? I tried with a file on Dropbox and also stored locally. The same behaviour.</p>
<p>What is supposed to happen?<br>
Thanks</p></div>iantag:support.multimarkdown.com,2013-02-12:Comment/442363712017-12-08T00:29:50Z2017-12-08T00:29:50ZConfused, won't let me just cancel out of a document, see screenshots in zip file<div><p>Auto save is implemented by macOS, not by Composer.</p>
<p>Auto Save is <em>supposed</em> to cause the OS to periodically trigger a save<br>
action on the document if it has been changed.</p>
<p>If this is enabled, and you close a document that has been edited, it<br>
<em>should</em> trigger a save before closing.</p>
<p>The main danger of this is saving a change that you in fact did not want<br>
to save. Which is why Composer allows you to turn this function off.<br>
(I don't like this feature myself, so I tend to keep it disabled).</p>
<p><em>NOTE</em>: This behavior can also be disabled in the "General" system preferences</p>
<p>In my testing on 10.12 and 10.13, it works as expected.</p>
<p>Have you tried rebooting your computer? I've seen various users with<br>
very odd behavior on their computers that is fixed with a reboot.<br>
Perhaps the quality of macOS is not quite what it used to be.</p>
