How to Turn Off the Auto-Save in "Corel Draw"

If you've ever accidentally closed your graphics program after spending hours tweaking an image, you know how valuable an auto-save feature can be. By default, CorelDRAW automatically saves the images you're editing every 20 minutes. In most circumstances, it's a useful feature, but there may be times when you want to disable the feature. For example, if you're altering an image to create an alternate version, you wouldn't want the auto-save to overwrite the original. CorelDRAW allows you to disable the auto-save feature in the program's Options menu.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open CorelDRAW.

    • 2

      Click "Tools," then click "Options." Alternatively, pressing "Ctrl" and "J" simultaneously also opens the Options menu.

    • 3

      Click the "+" icon to the left of the "Workspace" listing in the navigation pane to show the full list of Workspace options.

    • 4

      Click on the now-visible "Save" entry in the navigation pane. CorelDRAW's save options appear in the main portion of the window.

    • 5

      Remove the check in the box next to the "Auto-backup" option.

    • 6

      Click "OK" to save the change.

Tips & Warnings

  • Remember to turn auto-save back on if you'd like to take advantage of the feature in future projects.
