How Deiza automatically saves your website changes

Auto-Save

Deiza automatically saves your website as you edit — you never need to click a save button for your work to be preserved.

How It Works

Auto-save uses a debounced save system:

  1. You make a change (edit text, update a color, reorder a section)
  2. A 2-second countdown starts
  3. If you make more changes, the countdown resets
  4. Once you pause for 2 seconds, the save fires
  5. A minimum of 5 seconds must pass between saves to prevent overlapping requests

This means rapid changes are batched together into a single save rather than firing on every keystroke.

Save Status Indicator

The toolbar shows your current save state at all times:

StatusWhat it means
SavedAll changes are safely stored
Saving...A save is in progress
Unsaved changesChanges pending, save will fire shortly
Save failedA save error occurred — will retry automatically

Retry on Failure

If a save fails (network issue, timeout), Deiza automatically retries up to 3 times before showing an error. Most temporary connection issues resolve themselves without any action needed.

Saves on Tab Switch

If you switch to another browser tab or minimize the window while there are unsaved changes, Deiza immediately triggers a save before you leave. This prevents losing work if you close the tab by accident.

Manual Save

You can also save at any time by clicking the Save button in the editor toolbar. This is useful before making major changes or before publishing.

Version Snapshots

In addition to regular auto-saves, Deiza creates a full version snapshot:

  • When you add a new section
  • When you publish your website
  • Periodically during longer editing sessions (throttled to no more than once every 2 minutes)

Version snapshots appear in the Version History tab and can be restored with one click. This feature requires the Grow or Scale plan.

What Gets Saved

Every auto-save stores:

  • All text content and edits
  • Design settings (colors, fonts, layout)
  • Section order and visibility
  • Logo, favicon, and branding settings
  • SEO settings
  • Payment and product settings
