Author API Initialization

Controls whether Author API will ignore the default browser behavior, for showing an unsaved changes warning when navigating away from the page.

You would want to use this to suppress the browser alert if there were any unsaved changes to an Item, Activity, or Widget (Question or Feature) and the author tries to navigate away from the page.

Examples

var initializationOptions = {
    "config": {
        "global": {
            "disable_onbeforeunload": true
        }
    }
};

Values

Default false

Type boolean
