ArcMap should automatically backup ongoing edits

GregoryHellyer1

ArcMap should automatically backup ongoing edits/analyses. So many of us have lost hours of complex edits/analysis because ArcMap crashes and no backup is available. Best would be an autosave while working at a user specified interval e.g. 15 minutes. Alternatively, or additionally, when ArcGIS crashes it should do what Microsoft Office does and save a current version of the map/analysis. Then when we open ArcMap it should prompt us to load the saved version, or to revert to the original version of the map/analysis.

I think this would be a bad idea. A better idea is to practice saving edits your self.

The Big issue with Automaticaly saving edits is if you make a number of mistakes and want to revert. Well if the system just made a back up you are left with a bunch of errors.

I think we would have a lot of issues with things being saved automaticaly that you don't want.

I see this causing a lot more problems than it saves.

I would suggest putting a timer next to you that beeps every 15 minutes to remind you to save.
Not trying to be insulting but losing hours of complex edits/analysis becuase ArcMap crashes is a rookie mistake. Not the crashing, but the not saving.

If your having issues with ArcMap crashing you should look into solving that issue instead. Often is is a lack of hardware resources and/or corrupt mxd's and databases. Often when people upgrade to a new version the mxd they were using with the old version becomes unstable.

ArcGIS Pro has had Settings for saving edits—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop for a while. You can choose to use it or not, and control the frequency of saves based on either time or number of operations.

The other part about autosaving a document is being looked at as part of https://community.esri.com/ideas/1079‌

These requests are addressed in ArcGIS Pro both for editing and project backup.
