Autorecovery of documents

Product:

Application: Table Desktop version

Autorecovery is a feature that allows the user to recover documents working with which was completed incorrectly (for example, in case of power failure).

To enable recovery, MyOffice Spreadsheet periodically saves backups of the documents being edited, including those that have never been saved by the user. If the application crashes, when the application is reopened, the user can save copies of documents as separate files or replace the original documents with copies.

Backup copies of documents are saved for one month and then automatically deleted.

Documents are not backed up when you work in the Cloud.
