How to enable auto save feature

[fabiola_english]

Hello everybody. I'm wondering how can my students save their work in the text entry feature when they need to come back to it another day? It's not auto saving for them and it's really an inconvenience to have them copy and save their work on a word document. If anyone has advice, please share and thank you.

The RCE (Rich Content Editor) should auto-save text automatically.  Please check out the section called "View Auto-Saved Content" in either of these Guides:

• How do I add and modify text in the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
• How do I add and modify text in the Rich Content Editor as a student?

I hope this helps.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Thank you so much, Chris. I will try this out with my students on Monday.

Hi @MrsLauraMetz ...

The folks who manage the Community moved some of the Guides around and combined some things as well since the information was almost identical.  You can find that consolidated Guide at:
