🧩 Troubleshooting
Q: Blender shows “Can’t modify blend data in this state”
→ SavePilot+ detects this and retries automatically. The issue occurs only if Blender is actively rendering or baking.
Q: AutoSave doesn’t trigger?
→ Ensure you’ve saved the file manually once and the timer interval is above 5 seconds.
Q: How to reset settings?
→ Disable and re-enable the add-on, or restart Blender.
