10 +1. Modify the content. After clicking the "Edit" button, you'll find yourself modifying the page content using the [[default editor>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application||anchor="HEditMode"]] (or the editor you've [[configured in your user profile>>extensions:Extension.User Module.User Profile Application.WebHome||anchor="HEditPreferences"]]). The default editor is the [[in-place WYSIWYG editor>>dev:Drafts.Editing a Page.EditInWYSIWYGMode.Editing in In-place mode.WebHome]] as shown in the following image.(((

31 += Common edit actions =
32 +
33 +All edit modes have some or all of the elements in the following image :
34 +
35 +{{image reference="autosave.png"/}}
36 +
37 +The **minor edit** checkbox is meant to mark the fact that superficial changes were made to the page. Such changes may include, but are not restricted to: spelling error corrections, text rearrangements, formatting. It is the editor's responsibility to distinguish between major and minor changes.
38 +
39 +{{info}}
40 +A wiki page's version is composed of two numbers separated by a dot. Saving a major change will increase the first number and reset the second to "1", while a minor edit will just increase the second number.
41 +{{/info}}
42 +
43 +By default, minor edits do not appear in the "What's New" page and in the page history. The option "Show minor edits" will list all the versions, including minor ones.
44 +
45 +The **Version summary** field allows entering a short description of the changes made to the page in the version that is being saved. It is displayed in the history page and it is meant to increase comprehensibility of the content's evolution.
46 +
47 +The **Cancel** button causes the changes to be discarded and forwards to the page view mode.
48 +
49 +The **Preview** button shows the page as it would look with the current changes saved, but does not actually change the page. From the preview mode, the user will be able to cancel the changes, return to edit mode or save the changes. This button is not available in all edit modes.
50 +
51 +The **Save & Continue** button submits the current changes and returns to the current edit mode.
52 +
53 +The **Save & View** button submits the current changes and returns to the page view mode.
54 +
55 +== Autosave ==
56 +
57 +The Autosave feature automatically saves the page you're working on as a minor version at a given interval. Just check the Autosave checkbox next to the action buttons, at the bottom of the editing area. You can optionally change the autosave interval by entering the desired number of minutes in the input following the checkbox.
58 +
59 +{{warning}}
60 +Note that this feature is still not fully mature since it creates a new revision of the page every N seconds (where N is the time interval you specify). This means a page may have a lot of revisions which will potentially hamper performances and history readability. In the future one idea is to [[implement the notion of pseudo versions>>https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-500]].
