What changed and why it matters
Your training history protects itself in the background, and returning after clearing your browser — or on another computer — can continue automatically from your latest backup instead of starting over.
The safest backup is the one you never have to remember to make. Automatic saving means months of progress are quietly protected, and automatic continue means getting back to improving takes seconds, not setup.
How to use it
Where to find it: Go to Data Center → Automatic backups. Turn on auto-save and pick a file, and/or choose a folder to continue from.
Do you need to do anything? A quick one-time setup: choose the file to keep saved and/or the folder to continue from. Available in Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium browsers on a computer; other browsers keep the manual Download/Import backup tools. SwingVantage only uses the file or folder you pick, and never replaces existing data without asking.
In a nutshell
SwingVantage added automatic backups: it keeps a chosen file on the user's device up to date on a schedule, and on return it scans a chosen folder (e.g. Downloads) for the newest backup to continue progress automatically. It uses the browser File System Access API with a one-time user grant, never reads the disk on its own, skips password-protected backups, and prompts before overwriting existing local data.

Choose a folder once (your Downloads works great) and when you come back, SwingVantage finds your most recent backup and picks up right where you left off — no hunting for a file, no manual import.
