Is it possible to add delay before autosaving?

[Georgios]

I want to have Obsidian wait 20 seconds before autosaving my note. Currently, it autosaves the document almost instantly, as I type, which has caused a lot of problems with my online sync program, resulting in loss and corruption of notes on other devices.

Is it possible to configure Obsidian not to save as I type, but instead to either wait 20 seconds after the last change to save?

I wonder is there a better way to manage that too, not using online syncing but instant save is very dangerous, I can redo but it is sometimes hard to find where was the results I wanted. There is also the danger of changing stuff by mistake and not noticing it at the time.

Relevant background:

Disable auto-save or change frequency

I agree wholeheartedly that this is a sorely lacking feature, but… I now believe that Obsidian’s functionality is closely tied to the auto-save. It does a lot of different things during saving that are intended to feel seamless to the user, and at least a few of them would break badly if the loaded note were to remain out of sync with the note file’s contents. That’s my impression anyway, now that I’ve written a decently involved plugin for Obsidian. One workaround, for people who are reall…

Is it a solution to first do the work with obsidian, then close the program and sync afterwards?
