What is AutoRecover?
While editing your SharePoint intranet page, all your design edits are stored and recorded. You are able to view these in the History Window. In any instance where your session ends, whether by choice or accident, your unsaved changes can easily be restored. You will see an automatic prompt as soon as you get back to editing your page and have the option to restore or discard the changes made in the last interrupted session. This is the AutoRecover feature in Live Mode.
