# Workflow Tips

- **Save a new layout once to turn on autosave.** Click the floppy disk icon and name your layout. After that, each change is saved about five seconds after you stop editing. Events that already have their own layout autosave from the start.
- **Use Undo and Redo liberally.** Up to 30 steps are available. History survives a page refresh but is cleared when you close the browser tab. The clock icon lists each step with how long ago it happened.
- **Use the Page Structure sidebar** to navigate complex layouts quickly. It gives you a tree view of every section, column, and component: much faster than scrolling the canvas.
- **Use Export JSON as a backup** before making big structural changes. You can re-import it instantly if something goes wrong.
- **Import JSON to apply layouts from other events.** Great for creating consistent designs across a large event calendar without rebuilding from scratch each time.
