# Settings - Auto Save

## What is Auto-Save While Scrolling?

Sometimes data disappears **when you scroll** the page you're trying to extract. The auto-save feature helps you **capture all information that automatically disappears during scrolling** without missing anything.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Scroll down to the <mark style="color:red;">**`Auto-scroll and Auto-save`**</mark> section.

The auto-save while scrolling feature can only be modified after first configuring the auto-scroll feature.

{% hint style="success" %}
If the web page you want to extract doesn't clear data during scrolling:

You only need <mark style="color:red;">**`Auto-scroll`**</mark> without the <mark style="color:red;">**`Auto-save`**</mark> feature.
{% endhint %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Change auto-scroll settings.

<mark style="color:red;">**`Auto-scroll`**</mark> can be set up to 300 times maximum.

**Set it to repeat as many times as you want to automate scrolling.** <mark style="color:red;">**`Wait for`**</mark> can wait up to 10 seconds, specifying the interval for automatically saving data.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### If needed, select or enter the <mark style="color:red;">**`CSS Selector value`**</mark> you want to extract.

As you increase the number of <mark style="color:red;">**`Auto-scroll`**</mark> repetitions and <mark style="color:red;">**`Wait for`**</mark> time, the <mark style="color:red;">**`EXECUTION TIME`**</mark> below increases proportionally.

If needed, select or enter the <mark style="color:red;">**`CSS Selector value`**</mark> you want to extract. You can use the <mark style="color:red;">**`CSS Selector value`**</mark> to select the data pattern you want to save.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save Changed Settings

Once complete, click the **Save** button at the bottom of the page.

Then return to the Databoard and click the <mark style="color:red;">**`Re-extract`**</mark> button.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**If the execution time (EXECUTION TIME) exceeds 10 minutes total, the extraction task will fail.**

Therefore, please note that you cannot automate too many scroll repetitions.
