Scenario

While editing a GoFileRoom document, it is possible that your work may be interrupted due to a system crash, power loss, or loss of internet connectivity. The document in GoFileRoom will remain at a status of checked out, and recent changes that you have made have not been saved back into GoFileRoom yet.

We recommend as a best practice that you save often to safeguard against unexpected interruptions.
