(Really the only thing missing is importing Alters, but I only really care about that to keep track of which Alter is in which deck.. lol.)\n"}]}

20 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Are you referring to the old edit menu?\n\nIt never went away. It's just changed names and moved down. It's called Import now. \n\nAlso, is there anything specific you're doing that seems to cause the page reset? Like is it on enter? Or something else specific?\n\nEdit: Nvm, looked into it. This was 10000% a bug. It'll be fixed in a few minutes.\n"}]}

20 months{"ops":[{"insert":"That's by design for now. We considered hiding the one in the deck while it's selected, but it's a bit more complicated and has weird implications. We still might add it as an option, we just want to wait to see how much use Brewer mode gets before jumping into the deep end. \n"}]}

Jeremy 20 months{"ops":[{"insert":"You're actually suffering for the sins of a failed update we put up late last week rather than Autosave itself. We've since rolled it back, but it sounds like you might be on an outdated version of the client. If you reset your cache and cookies, you should be good to go. Sorry for the trouble!\n"}]}

Ezraphell 20 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Huge fan of the new views. I may be in the minority here but I would like the option of manual save sticking around. I recognize my use case is probably not a common one but I do something like to add or remove cards to see how stats change during brewing without wanting to save those changes every time.\n"}]}

Jeremy 20 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Unfortunately, manually save is incongruent with how saving will ultimately work on the site. In order to implement collaborative deckbuilding with simultaneous edits possible by multiple users, there needs to be a live connection with the deck editor. Having changes stored up then sent through only once a user decides to commit won't work with that. This will be less bug-prone for solo deckbuilding as well, so we're looking it as a pretty huge net positve.\n\nThat said, I totally understand where you're coming from with preferring the flexibility manual save can offer. For what it's worth, we waited to move toward Autosave being the default until we had deck history fully implemented. My suggestion would be to use the History menu to make a deck version before making significant changes that you feel you may want to rollback. From that same menu, you can restore a prior deck version at any time. For small changes, Ctrl-Z or the Undo button can always well, undo stuff. \n\nI hope this helps explain why we're doing what we're doing a bit. Also, I'm very glad to hear you're enjoying the new views!\n"}]}

Jeremy 20 months{"ops":[{"insert":"Those default options really only come into play on new devices or if you've cleared your cookies, otherwise the deck page should just default to whatever you've used last. That said, yeah, that's definitely an oversight on our part. I've made note to slip that in next time we push through an update.\n\nThank you for the suggestion, and glad to hear you're enjoying Table view!\n"}]}
