This chapter describes how the AIM Drafts folder works. AIM automatically saves every 30 seconds when you create or modify certain objects. This action allows you to navigate away from an object to do another AIM operation, then come back to that object later in the Drafts folder to finish.

When you create any of the objects listed above, AIM automatically saves a draft after the first 30 seconds. Then AIM saves again each 30 seconds after that.
