A
utosave is a highly useful
macOS feature that prevents
losing incremental changes to
a document you’re working on
between the periods when you press
Command-S or choose File → Save. As you
work away, the current state of the
document is updated temporarily. When
you close the file, changes are applied
even if you don’t use the Save command
or keystroke.
But what if autosave goes south?

reader, have seen the error in variousHow to fix the ‘cannot be
autosaved’ bug when saving
documents in macOS apps
An oddball problem with an oddball fix and some workarounds.
