I am working on a blog that uses ~5000 nodes, mostly long texts (imported from blogger) that are being edited and updated using the builtin ckeditor5. The blog author has requested that I implement autosave for the node edit form.
I know of an autosave feature from the Ckeditor website, and when i search the backdrop core ckeditor5 module, i find the string:
exports.Autosave = lv;
I don't know if it means that autosave is actually included, activated, usable, or not. I don't see any reference to it in the UI. So my question is, how do I activate autosave and use it in my site?

Hi lloyddunn,
the important thing is: don't mix up CKEditor "autosave" (client side) and node save.
Node save means, that the current form gets validated and saved to the Backdrop database tables. That's server-side.
This isn't available in Backdrop core - you'd have to implement it on your own. For example periodically triggered by Javascript, which - on server side - get's the form contents, validates and saves them (using the save() method).
Or... you could help to finalize the port of the Autosave contrib module
