Your periodic reminder. When you have an old draft and a new draft open at the same time. Make the page color of the old draft different so you don't edit the wrong document.

@MCDuncanLab@mstdn.social Right. This would have been easier than my method of changing the font color on everything I add. *bites fist*

@MCDuncanLab@mstdn.social wondering if I can do this in emacs.. got this wrong twice today.. :( Then realized I should have marked the file read only to stop myself, and yes there’s a setting to change the background colour. I see a short emacs function in my future..
