### Autosave
By default, Penpot stores manually saved versions indefinitely; these can be found in the History tab and can be renamed, restored, deleted, etc. Additionally, the default behavior of on-premise instances is to not keep automatic version history. This automatic behavior can be modified and adapted to each on-premise installation with the corresponding configuration.

You need to be very careful when configuring automatic versioning, as it can significantly impact the size of your database. If you configure automatic versioning, you'll need to monitor this impact; if you're unsure about this management, we recommend leaving the default settings and using manual versioning.

This is how configuration looks for auto-file-snapshot
```bash
PENPOT_FLAGS: enable-auto-file-snapshot # Enable automatic version saving

PENPOT_AUTO_FILE_SNAPSHOT_EVERY: 5 # How many save operations trigger the auto-save-version?
PENPOT_AUTO_FILE_SNAPSHOT_TIIMEOUT: "1h" # How often is an automatic save forced even if the `every` trigger is not met?
```
Setting custom values for auto-file-snapshot does not change the behaviour for manual versions.
