Limitations for Drafts and Auto Save

• Offline editing is not supported. An active internet connection is required for draft synchronization.
• If the network connection is interrupted, the editor becomes temporarily read-only until the connection is restored.

• A field can only be edited by one user at a time. Other users cannot edit that field until the lock is released.
• Locks automatically expire after a period of user inactivity.
• In Group or Modular Blocks fields, structural actions such as adding, deleting, or reordering blocks are restricted if a nested field is locked.
• Custom fields lock when a user interacts within the iframe, preventing other users from editing the field during that interaction.

• Only explicit Save or Publish actions create major versions.
• Minor auto-saved updates remain grouped within draft logs until a major version is created.

Draft logs are retained only for the five most recent major versions of an entry. When a new major version is created, draft logs associated with older versions are automatically removed.

Newly created entries remain at version 0 until they are saved for the first time.

While an entry is in version 0:

• The locale cannot be changed
• The entry cannot be referenced by other entries
• Publishing is unavailable
• The entry cannot be added to releases
• Workflow stages cannot be applied
• Certain features, such as comments, may be unavailable

Saving the entry creates the first major version and enables these capabilities.

If another user saves a newer version while you are editing an entry, you must review and compare versions before saving to avoid overwriting changes.

Auto Save captures changes frequently, but very recent edits may still be lost in rare situations such as:

• browser crashes
• system failures
• forced application closure

Because Auto Save processes edits at short intervals, changes made within the last few seconds before the interruption may not be saved.

• Marketplace apps that update field values using the App SDK setData method can bypass standard field locking. When this occurs, updates made by the app may override a locked field. Users who currently hold the lock are notified when the field data changes.
• Draft data created through Drafts and Auto Save is not currently supported in Visual Builder or Live Preview environments.
