About auto-block
Block autosave feature is created to prevent loss of content.
Autosave is using Version functionality. Continuous copy of the article block is now saved systematically in Versions with the name “Auto.” Auto-block is updated every time content is changed. It captures content every 30 seconds and continuously updates itself.
Every block of the article will have a single auto-block with the last saved content information. It is an auto-overwriting backup of the individual block.
