# Chart Editor

# Auto-Saving

If you ever crash or exit the game without saving your chart, you can load it by using the "Auto-Saved Charts Station". By opening this SubState from the Chart Editor, you will be able to load one of 5 previously edited charts. The game auto-saves every 5 minutes, as well as every time you play or clear a chart!
