Incorrect "No changes to save" message when saving trivial changes

| Lucidchart will tell you that there were no changes to save, even though there are, and they were saved, if they are trivial. To repro: Create a flow chart with a several boxes, and overlapping lines. Save. Make an adjustment to one of the overlapping lines, and save again. The message "no changes to save" will be displayed, but in fact it appears that the changes were saved. | |

| As of (very) recently, all your changes are saved for you automatically once you've saved a document the first time. So the message is actually correct (since your changes were already saved automatically), but kind of misleading. We'll adjust the wording in our next release. | |

| I wonder if you could expand on how you have implemented this feature. Although it sounds like a great idea at first blush, I wonder if you have considered the following scenario: I develop a diagram to a certain point, and save. I make several changes in a "what-if" mode, and decide to abandon them. I quit the app, and come back tomorrow. My "what-if" changes have been saved. What the? | |

| If you would like to disable this feature, just open up the Properties panel, go to the Document section, and set "Changes" to "Share on save". This will set it back to the way it was before. Just bear in mind that collaboration will no longer be in real-time, as we can't share your unsaved changes with others who have the document open. | |
