# Autosave of a test execution
The autosave feature in the Test Execution module allows your progress to be saved automatically as you work, ensuring data security and minimizing the risk of losing important information due to unexpected events like system crashes or connectivity issues.
Autosave is disabled by default for all users.
You can enable autosave feature per project. To do it, first navigate to the **Project settings.**
Then check the "Autosave the test execution" option and click the 'Save' button.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Please note:**
If **Actual Results are Mandatory** is enabled, then it's not possible to enable autosave and vice versa.
If **Autosave** is enabled, it's not possible to make actual result mandatory.
{% endhint %}
Autosave should save changes upon the following actions:
* Modifying step status.
* Updating actual results.
* Adding/removing labels.
* Linking defects.
* Modifying test run fields.
* Adding/removing attachments.
* Adding screenshots.
**Test execution**
Start executing your test case. There should be an indicator that autosave is enabled. Then add necessary information to your step or make changes to the fields.
Observe the "Autosave is in progress" indicator to ensure the feature is active. Continue working without worrying about manually saving your progress.
If needed, refresh the page or return to the test case, and your latest changes will remain intact.
