== Source ==
You can check out DataSaverPlugin from
[http://trac-hacks.org/svn/datasaverplugin here] using Subversion,
or [source:datasaverplugin browse the source] with Trac.

== Installation ==
Do your normal Trac plugin install. If you are taking the install-into-Python route,
add to your trac.ini:
{{{
[components]
datasaver.* = enabled
}}}

== Example ==
Suppose you write a lengthy wiki page, but accidentally hit refresh or the back button?
You'd be out of luck most of the time. I know I was.  But with this hack,
a link called "Restore Form" will allow you to retrieve your data from your last save.
Any time you navigate away from a form page, the contents will be saved in a cookie
and when you return you can simply click "Restore Form" to retrieve it.
