- All cases, labels, numbers and rules are supplied on this page. No real account, private information or purchase is needed.
Learn the idea
Working memory holds information a running program is using. Saved storage keeps a file for later. In our model unsaved work in memory disappears when power ends; a saved file remains. Real applications may autosave, so the stated model matters.
Check whether this model says the work was saved before power ended. Do not assume an open drawing is saved just because it is visible.
Use this supplied case: Drawing saved before shutdown. In the stated model, what is supported? Use the details in this example. An adult may read the words aloud. Point, draw or say your answer.
- Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
- Check whether this model says the work was saved before power ended.
- Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
- Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.

Drawing saved before shutdown. In the stated model, what is supported? The supported answer is Saved file remains. Check whether this model says the work was saved before power ended. Do not assume an open drawing is saved just because it is visible. The supplied facts, rather than an assumed real-world detail, determine this paper case. Compare the recorded action or value with the stated rule before choosing an answer.

Unsaved work is lost
The supplied case states: Drawing only open in memory before shutdown. In the stated model, what is supported? Under the stated distinction, this identifies Unsaved work is lost. Working memory holds information a running program is using. Saved storage keeps a file for later. In our model unsaved work in memory disappears when power ends; a saved file remains. Real applications may autosave, so the stated model matters. Check whether this model says the work was saved before power ended.
Take it further
Model states autosaving is absent. A saved caption and unsaved edit exist before power ends. Expected: the saved caption remains and the unsaved change is not guaranteed.
