**My idea is** : To have an option of auto-saving when creating emails and landing pages (instead of having to exit the builder and click “Save”) **I think these groups of people would benefit from this idea** : The general user who’s creating a lot of bigger emails and landing pages. **Why I think they would benefit from this idea:** So they don’t lose their work (I’ve had clients losing work because they forget to save and something happens or they get logged out) **Any code or resources to support this idea:** Nope, unfortunately not. I’m not a dev. **Are you willing to work on this idea?:** Don’t have the skills, unfortunately. **What skills and resources do you need to explore this further?** : A dev, don’t know more than that 🙂 ---

Hi, your problem is connected with short session times. If you make it longer, the autosave wont be needed so much. ---

Hello @joeyk, sessions in Mautic are by default limited to 15 minutes in my personal experience. Do you have a setting to allow longer sessions? Pierre ---

Sure, we discussed it in the forum previously. Ugly but works. > [@CSRF token error. Try to refresh the page and try again](https://forum.mautic.org/t/csrf-token-error-try-to-refresh-the-page-and-try-again/16839/9): > > Second this, it has haunted my for years with multiple Mautics, different browsers, diff local machines, diff server set ups but the CSRF token issue just follows me around. ---

Thanks Joeyk! It’s not always connected to that, however. Accidents happen or computer freezes etc, in which case autosave would be very useful. ---

Hello @joeyk, I have read your solution here : [CSRF token error. Try to refresh the page and try again - #11 by joeyk](https://forum.mautic.org/t/csrf-token-error-try-to-refresh-the-page-and-try-again/16839/11) This is not a long-term solution and has side effects on a multi-instance installation 😉 Pierre ---

Correct. I never stated otherwise 🙂 ---

About multi instance problem. You should be able to set cookie\_lifetime option in config.php (framework extension). By the looks of it, it should only effect the application (Mautic instance) and nothing else.
