Unsaved file found

It is possible that the file can get into a state where there are unsaved changes to a file. Some possibilities are if you:

Attempt to open a different file.
Attempt to sign out.
Attempt to sign in as a different user.

You can also get this message if MATLAB^® Mobile™ needs to load the file from the Cloud while you are working on it due to a communication error.

MATLAB Mobile offers you a choice: discard the changes and continue with what you were trying to do, or cancel your request and go back to editing the file.

If you choose cancel, you can perform an action that will trigger an autosave (run, browse), after which you can perform the operation that originally prompted this message.
