With the Keep the last AutoRecovered version if I close without saving option in Microsoft Word checked (default setting), if you try to close a modified iManage file without saving, iManage Work Desktop for Windows checks if an auto recovered file exists and displays a message informing that if you choose not to save, you can use the Microsoft AutoRecover feature to get a temporary copy of the file. This feature is also available for Excel and PowerPoint.
