Auto Save

A safety net that saves your presentation automatically on a timed interval - to the live file or to a timestamped backup copy, whichever you prefer.

When to use it

  • Working on a long pitch deck where losing the last 15 minutes would hurt.
  • Editing slides over a flaky connection or remote desktop session.
  • Keeping a rolling backup history of every save as a side folder.
  • Avoiding the did I save? mental tax during a long drafting session.

How it works

  1. 1
    Open the SkySuite AI Assistant pane and find the Auto Save widget on the Home tab.
  2. 2
    Click the toggle to turn Auto Save on for the active presentation.
  3. 3
    If the file has not been saved to disk yet, you will be prompted to save it first.
  4. 4
    Adjust the interval and mode in Settings > Auto Save (1, 5, 10, or 15 minutes).
  5. 5
    Choose between saving the current file in place or creating timestamped copies in a backup folder.
  6. 6
    The widget shows a green indicator while Auto Save is active and reports the last save time.

Tips & shortcuts

  • Backup-copy mode writes to a sibling folder named {filename} - Autosave alongside your presentation.
  • Auto Save runs per file - turning it on for one deck does not affect others.
  • Closing the presentation automatically stops Auto Save for that file.
  • The toggle status survives a PowerPoint restart - if it was on when you closed, it picks back up.
