If an item is relevant, then the concept appears on the right side of the status bar in black script, otherwise in gray script.

When you are working in online mode, the concept Online appears in black script. If you are working in the offline mode it appears in gray script.

Rectangle).

If you choose the option Create Backup, then WAGO-I/O-PRO 32 creates a backup file at every save with the extension ".bak". In this way you can always restore the versions before the last save.

If you choose the option Auto Save , then while you work your project is constantly saved to a temporary file with the extension ".asd" according to a set time interval (Auto Save Interval). This file is erased at a normal exit from the program. If for any reason WAGO-I/O-PRO 32 is not shut down "normally" (e.g. due to a power failure), then the file is not erased. When you open the file again the following message appears:

x There is an auto save backup.

You can now decide whether you want to open the original file or the auto save file.

Ask for project info: When saving a new project or saving a project under a new name, the project info is automatically called. You can visualize the project info with the command 'Project' 'Project info' and also process it.
