Which browsers is the web-based OT supported on?

The web-based OT is supported on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

How does the autosave function work?

Edits in the Project Name, Abstract, and Duplicate Observation fields are saved when the user stops typing for 500 ms. In all other fields, the input is saved once the user leaves the field. Any changes to the proposal thus overwrite the previous version.

Can I make a copy of my proposal?

Yes, you can make a copy of either your draft proposal, your submitted proposal or your submitted proposal with unsubmitted changes. The copy will then have draft status.
