Describe library synchronization replacing autosave

[koppor]

🤖 Low-risk documentation update: describes the "Synchronize local libraries with their files" option (formerly "Autosave local libraries") introduced in JabRef/jabref#16813, which merges external changes to the library file automatically and asks for a review only on conflicts. Screenshot of the preference updated.

High-Level Assessment

The current approach is appropriate: it expands the existing backup and autosave page while preserving its URL, avoiding unnecessary navigation and link churn. A separate synchronization page was considered but would fragment closely related saving and backup guidance.

1. FAQ retains obsolete autosave path 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

Description

The new documentation renames the control and locates it under Preferences → General → Saving, but
the performance FAQ still tells users to disable “autosave” under File → Preferences → File →
Saving. Users following that FAQ may be unable to locate the renamed synchronization option.

Code

+JabRef can keep a local library and its `.bib` file the same in both directions. Enable **Synchronize local libraries with their files** in Preferences → General → Saving:

Evidence

The changed synchronization page establishes the new control name and location, while the FAQ still
presents the old autosave terminology and a different navigation path for disabling the same
behavior.
