Adobe Animate taking forever to save

I use Adobe Animate 2018 because its my preferred version.(imo they ruined the brush anti-alaising in any version above)

Im working on a small-ish animation about 8-10 seconds long.

Granted theres modest amout of assets in the animation.

But its gotten to the point where its taking so long to save, like 30 seconds+ everytime, its so annoying to work with.

Its a natural reflex to hit Ctrl + S every so often, so its messing up the workflow hard.

If it was like a 10 minuite animation with loads goin on then ofc fair play, but this is a little 10 second animation.

Are there any fixes for this?

I've been having an issue with save times reaching 8 - 10 minutes when I have a duplicate window open.
When I say duplicate window I went up to the 'Window' menu and chose Duplicate window". This was so I could edit the file on my second monitor and still view it on the other.

@D J Ford , creating a duplicate can be a good idea, but you should immediately save it with a new name.

i always recommend appending an increasing version number to the file name when using animate for several reasons, the most important of which you'll find if animate ever crashes while editing a fla. ie, that fla that was opened during the crash will often be corrupted, but the previous versions will not be corrupted so you never lose a lot of work (assuming you were saving after significant fla changes).

if you do that, it will solve your problem too.
