Hi Matabele This will have to be made quite clear to new users -- perhaps a popup modal > 'Save Settings' window when leaving the Control panel might be appropriate > (standalone version only.) >
I'm not sure how that would work. What would be the trigger for the modal window? One other point is that even though making a change in the control panel doesn't trigger an autosave, the browser will warn if you try to close the tab before saving changes. We could add a visual indication that there are unsaved changes pending. What form might it take?
