Save new documents before editing the first time

Causes new, unedited documents to be saved automatically.

Available options:
  • Always: Induces automatic saving of new documents.

  • Only at creation from templates: Only induces automatic saving when users create new documents from templates.

  • Never: Disables automatic saving of new documents.

With this feature enabled, PLA 3.0 creates empty documents in the database and then opens them for editing. With this feature disabled, PLA 3.0 opens empty documents in the editor and only adds them to the database when users manually save them for the first time.
