 ====== Auto Save and Versions in macOS (autosave) ======
-Apple has added a radically different method for managing your models in macOS, and this has been integrated into Rhino for Mac.  Apple describes autosaving and Versions [[http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4753|here]]. Another introduction can be found [[https://www.lifewire.com/use-auto-save-and-versions-in-os-x-2260850/|here]].

-Auto Save does save frequently, but archives only a few versions of your model.  Auto Save archives your model about once an hour for a day, then once a day for a week, and then once a week for some number of weeks.  Appple calls these Versions and you can browse them with the Versions browser (see below).

 If you are using Time Machine to make automatic backups of your computer files, then all the previous versions of your 3DM files are included in the Time Machine backups and do not take any additional space on your local computer disk.  If you are not making regular backups, we strongly recommend that you start performing backups with Time Machine.

 ===== Is it possible to disable the Versions feature in Rhino for Mac? =====
-Yes, BUT it is **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** that you **DO NOT DO THIS**.  Rhino for Mac is designed to work with Versions and Autosaving; performance and stability may be impacted if you disable this.  Additionally, you will lose the ability to add tags, rename or move the file from the window title, etc.  If, for some reason, you need to disable it, you will need to launch //Terminal.app// and run the following command:
+Unfortunately in Rhino 5, 6, and 7 for Mac, the answer is "No, you can not disable Auto Save."
-    defaults write com.mcneel.rhinoceros ApplePersistence -bool no
-This will disable autosaving and versions and bring back the Save As in the File menu (instead of Duplicate).
-To change back to default behavior, enter the Terminal command again but replace 'no' with 'yes':
+In Rhino 8 for Mac, there is an experimental command called **TestToggleMacAutosaveVersions** which allows you to toggle this feature. You must restart Rhino for this to take effect.  **NOTE**: Please use with caution and keep backups of your files.
-    defaults write com.mcneel.rhinoceros ApplePersistence -bool yes
-To check to see what that current setting is, use:
-    defaults read com.mcneel.rhinoceros ApplePersistence
-If it returns a 0 (or a pair not found error), it is disabled.  If it returns a 1, it is on.
-**NOTE**: The above steps do not work on macOS Mojave 10.14.  We do not currently know of a viable workaround.
