There is no save button. How can I tell if the trello card is saved or not?

Can you be more specific? What action are you trying to take? – OnenOnlyWalter Dec 19 '12 at 2:35
I open a card, add a field with some data, then usually there is a Save button and I click it. Then I close that card. Has my card been saved? There is no Save button for the card, and if I click outside the card, it closes. I find I keep opening the card to see if what I just put in was saved. – Mark Dec 19 '12 at 23:08
No answers have been given so I will assume it's just the way the Trello interface works. I will assume I can trust that the card is saved when I close it after adding or changing a field. It would be nice if the Trello docs mentioned this. They say "Cards are the basic unit of a board." But it appears that fields are the basic controllable unit. You actually cannot save a card explicitly. It just sort of continues on with its ghostly non-save-able existence. – Mark Dec 22 '12 at 5:15
Every change is saved immediately after entering, isn't it? What kind of changes do you mean? – Michel de Ruiter Dec 24 '12 at 19:01
It appears that the changes to the fields of the card are saved immediately. But for some reason I do not trust that they will be there when I open that card again. I think I expect dialog box behavior, like in a desktop application. Usual dialog box behavior is, you change a field or two inside of a dialog box, and then if you close the box, it asks if you want to save what you changed before closing the dialog. – Mark Jan 2 at 18:34
