Does PowerMAN save my documents before saving energy?
PowerMAN offers several low-power modes. The sleep and hibernate modes (collectively known as ‘suspend’) preserve any open programs and documents. The user may continue with their work immediately after the system has resumed. Optionally the user may be asked for their password when the system resumes. In some circumstances, such as an open access area, it may not be appropriate to use sleep or hibernate whilst a user is logged on. In this scenario PowerMAN may be used to log the user off first and then enter a low power state. PowerMAN may also be used to fully shutdown (power-off) the PC. This generally used when nobody is logged on. A full shutdown does not preserve the user’s session and they must therefore logon again and re-open any documents or programs. The available low-power modes are described here.
