Recover Autosaved Files

Rowan Patents autosaves as you work so that you can recover files if your system crashes or you have to force-quit our platform.

Written by Laura Berwick
  1. Draft your application at your own pace. Rowan Patents continuously autosaves in the background.
    ​
    ​Note that we still recommend that you save often, as a best practice, especially if you save to a network or shared file location.
    ​
    ​

  2. If your system crashes, or Rowan Patents stalls and you have to force it to quit using your operating system's task management features, restart your system and/or your Rowan Patents platform.
    ​
    ​

  3. When Rowan Patents restarts, you'll be presented with a recovery file and a File recovered message.

  4. Click OK in the message dialog.
    ​
    ​

  5. Save your recovered file to ensure you've captured all of your latest edits.
    ​
    ​

  6. Continue drafting your application.
    ​
    ​
    ​Note that if you choose to close a file and click the "Discard Changes" option in the confirmation dialog, your background autosaved changes are also discarded, and cannot be recovered.
