# Drafts and autosave

Your automations save themselves while you build them: if you leave, reload the page or lose your connection, you don't lose anything.

Updated on October 1, 2026 · 1 min read

While you build a new automation or edit a draft, it **saves itself** a few seconds after each change. At the top, next to **Save draft**, you'll see **Saved to drafts**.

## What happens if…

### …I leave before finishing?

It stays in the **Drafts** tab in Automations, just as you left it. Open it with **Edit flow** to keep going.

### …I reload the page or lose my connection?

Whatever was already saved is still there. If you're offline, the notice says **Offline: it saves when you're back**, and it saves once the connection is back.

### …I only opened a template to look at it?

No draft is left behind: it only saves once you change something.

### …I edit an automation that's already active?

That one doesn't save itself, so a half-finished change doesn't go out and reply to people. Your changes stay in your browser: if you leave, it asks you first, and if you open it again it tells you **We recovered changes that hadn't been saved**, with **Discard changes** in case you don't want them. They're applied when you save them.

### …I don't want a draft anymore?

In the list, open the three-dot menu on the row and tap **Delete**.
