Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > One other question here: how does the autosave actually get applied to
 the post?

 When the post edit screen loads, if an autosave is present and belongs to
 the current user and is newer than and different from the current save, a
 notice is displayed at the top of the screen informing the user that a
 newer autosave is available, with a link to "View the autosave".

 Clicking the link takes the user into the revisions interface, viewing the
 autosave. Clicking 'Restore This Autosave' restores this autosave as the
 post content.

 Aside: if the author's autosave is older than the currently saved post
 when the post edit screen loads, it is deleted.
