Status Bar Signals (Advanced)

This page explains what status bar indicators represent at a system level.

Save states

• Saving → changes are queued and being written
• Saved → the server has confirmed the latest version
• Error → the save attempt failed

The transition from Saving to Saved confirms that your data is persisted.

Version indicator

The version number reflects the last known saved version.

• It updates after each successful save
• If another session saves a newer version, the number may jump

Sync awareness

The status bar reflects sync state:

• When a remote update is detected, an indicator appears
• This corresponds to a newer version being available
• The indicator clears when you apply the update or create a newer version

Debugging with the status bar

If something seems off:

• Stuck on “Saving” → the save queue is not completing (large file, network issue)
• “Error” appears → the server rejected the save or the connection dropped
• Version not updating → changes haven’t been saved yet

The status bar is your primary feedback loop for understanding editor state.
