There has been confusion amongst testers on saving things:

  • you need to manually save data tabs to a .csv file
  • all properties are automatically saved
  • properties and data files are combined into a data package .zip file on export

Should we introduce an icon to indicate that property values have been saved?

Perhaps a tick in the property title bar. When the user starts entering values in a property, the icon changes until the user exits the property (i.e. it's saved)

Thoughts?

👍
If spinner is moving, that might be distracting - tick and pencil are simple and intuitive.
