Auto-Save Feature

In OnePager, there is a Auto-Save feature to assist you with recovering from operating system crashes, laptop battery outages, and other errors where you cannot recover your work effectively. The feature is automatically turned ON when you launch OnePager Pro or Express either the Add-in or Desktop application. During the operation of OnePager, the Auto-Save feature saves your chart as a .TAM file in your default chart directory. This is normally in the Documents folder under either OnePager Pro or OnePager Express. The Auto-Save file name is in the form of _AutoSave_projectviewname.TAM. Only the last Auto-Save file saved exists in your default chart directory. An Auto-Save file is written to this folder every five (5) minutes. When you Close OnePager, under normal conditions, the Auto-Save file is deleted so as not to occupy unnecessary storage space.

You have the option to turn the Auto-Save feature OFF by unchecking the checkbox found on the File tab of the OnePager ribbon at the Options sub-tab. Turning the Auto-Save feature OFF causes the feature to remain OFF until the next time OnePager is launched where you turn the feature back ON as shown below:
