Introduction
Welcome to SafeSave!
SafeSave is a workflow tool designed to remove the anxiety from working in Unreal Engine teams. It replaces complex Source Control menus with a simple Traffic Light system that lives directly in your main toolbar.
It acts as your "Air Traffic Controller," constantly monitoring your project to answer three questions:
Is it safe to save?
Did a teammate just push code?
Are you about to overwrite someone's work?
Core Features
🟢 Visual Status: Know instantly if you are Synced, Dirty, or in Conflict.
🔵 Update Detection: The "Blue Light" warns you if a teammate has pushed code before you start working.
🔴 Conflict Prevention: The "Safe Update" protocol helps you merge changes without breaking the build.
🔒 Billy Lock: Instant, non-blocking notification when you open a file locked by another user.
⚡ Zero Latency: Runs on a background thread (ActiveTimer); does not consume game-thread tick cycles.
