Protecting Your Work with Auto-Save
Losing lesson plan work due to browser crashes, network issues, or accidental navigation is frustrating. MyLesson.AI's draft auto-save feature ensures your work is always protected, automatically saving lesson plans as drafts before you explicitly save them.
How Draft Auto-Save Works
When you generate a lesson plan with MyLesson.AI, the system automatically:
- Saves your lesson plan as a draft immediately after generation
- Stores all lesson content, including objectives, stages, resources, and glossary
- Assigns a unique lesson ID for easy access
- Marks the lesson with a "draft" status until you explicitly save it
Draft vs. Saved Lessons
MyLesson.AI distinguishes between draft and saved lessons:
- Draft Lessons: Automatically saved after generation, marked as "draft" status. These are your work-in-progress lessons that haven't been finalized.
- Saved Lessons: Lessons you've explicitly saved or completed through the wizard. These are marked as "saved" status and are your finalized lesson plans.
Benefits of Auto-Save
Auto-save provides several important benefits:
- Data Protection: Never lose your work due to technical issues
- Seamless Workflow: Continue working without interruption
- Easy Access: Access draft lessons from your lessons page
- Progress Tracking: See which lessons are drafts vs. saved
Managing Your Drafts
All your draft lessons are accessible from your Lessons page. You can:
- View all draft lessons alongside saved ones
- Continue editing draft lessons
- Complete the wizard to convert drafts to saved lessons
- Delete drafts you no longer need
Converting Drafts to Saved Lessons
Draft lessons are automatically converted to saved lessons when you:
- Complete the lesson wizard
- Explicitly save the lesson from the lesson view page
- Generate additional components (quizzes, exercises, etc.)
Best Practices
- Don't worry about manually saving—auto-save handles it
- Review your drafts regularly to keep your library organized
- Complete the wizard to finalize important lessons
- Use drafts as templates for similar future lessons
Conclusion
Draft auto-save is a powerful feature that protects your work and enhances your productivity. With MyLesson.AI, you can focus on creating great lessons without worrying about losing your work. Every lesson plan is automatically saved, giving you peace of mind and more time to focus on teaching.
