Train yourself to use the modified save changes button?

That said, this is an item we've had some previous discussion on:

> Hi, I choose to make a new post to bump this into attention [image] I believe I am not the only one who have been asking myself if I really should answere yes or no to this question. There are several related issues to this I want to bring into attention. If anyone agree, please like or comment and add to this feature request slight_smile 1. CTRL+S (Save All) Current implementation commits all modifications in designer -without any question. This is in my opinion a dangerous functionality…

The problem is whatever we decide, _someone_ is going to complain, and it's generally safer to default to saving everything.
