AutoSave Alteryx Workflow Ability

It would be nice if when Alteryx crashes there is an autosave capability that when you re-open Alteryx it shows you the list of workflows that were autosaved and give you the immediate option to select which ones you want to save. SImilar to what Excel does.

 

I know about the current autosave feature, but I would still like to have it pop up or the option to have it pop up for me to select which to keep and which to discard.

Hi @jessica_mckinnerney,

 

Alteryx actually already has an autosave capability! In 10.5, for example, you just have to go to File --> Open Autosaved Files! If Alteryx crashes, it doesn't provide a window to immediately select which one to keep like Excel does, but I personally don't like that feature of Excel.

This doesn't complete my request, I would still like for it to auto pop up or give me the option to have it pop up and select which to keep and which to throw away.

 

It's a personal thing probably, but still a request.
