This is a notice for developers only, end-users can safely disregard this post.

WCF 2.1 Beta 3 adds two additional attributes related to the autosave feature, both control the restore behavior:

• data-autosave-prompt="true" will explicitly ask if saved content should be restored
• data-autosave-last-edit-time="<timestamp>" will cause the editor to discard saved content if it is older than the given timestamp

The check for lastEditTime is useful if you have a content type which can be expected to be edited by multiple people (e.g. forum posts). It attempts to circumvent the race condition taking place if user A starts editing but never submits it and the same content is edited afterwards by user B. If user A now attempts to edit the same content again the editor would load the draft - which is based upon the state before user B edited it - where the origin is out-of-sync.
