Updates

EnvisioKnit Design Studio has a built-in updater. When the program starts it checks the website for a newer version. If there is one, the updater will inform you of it and ask if you'd like to do the update now. You can also check for updates using the Check for Updates button in the Help menu.

Autosave, Crash Recovery and Bug Reports

The Bug Report Form

We do everything we can to prevent situations in which the program will crash. However, to reduce the potential for loss of work, EnvisioKnit autosaves your design once every minute, and retains the last five minutes of autosaved files. If a crash occurs, EnvisioKnit will attempt to load one of the autosave files when it restarts, starting with the most recent. Also, if the program crashes, we provide a form for you to automatically submit information about what the program was doing when it crashed (a bug report). Submitting this form automatically sends us the internal details of the crash, and helps us provide a fix for the issue as quickly as possible.
