# Screen locked without user realising

I have automatic lock screen set to quite short 10-20 mins. But this means whatever screen I'm working on when I get back to it it might be timed out. So I can make my changes, eg.: change deployment script or update env but when I click save I get redirected to the panel homepage.

Ideally when I get back the screen should already be on the login page by default. Other options are save the draft changes in a cookie and reset see [laravel's old flash](https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/requests#old-input) or perhaps have just a alert saying refresh the page as you have been looked out

**Edit Dennis: This is about the automatic locking feature in security settings in Ploi**

Can we have a custom session timeout setting under the User Profile view?
