Hi @padcom this is an expected behavior as the load itself updates the state of the editor. You can simply clear the dirty counter via editor.clearDirtyCount() right after your manual load.

Please note, that if you enable autoload:

    storageManager: {
      type: 'example',
      autoload: true,
      autosave: false,
    },

and disable loading:

  // console.log('App.vue - before load', editor.getDirtyCount())
  // const result = await editor.load({})
  // console.log('App.vue - after load', editor.getDirtyCount(), result)

number of changes is 0, even though the result is the same - the page is loaded. Since in my project I desperately need to be able to load the page at a specific time this is messing everything up. I also tried clearing the number of changes after loading, but since the code that sets it does so in a setTimeout() callback it's not possible to do it deterministically.

I beg your pardon? Are you quite serious that it is the "expected" behavior? Have you seen that in any other editor out there that the project is automatically modified upon loading and then automatically saved? I find that hard to believe.
