Add autosave function to Okular

I can do it that way by saving the changes in a backup file.
I would like to know why modifying the file on disk without user
interaction is a bad idea based on your experience.
Also, I noticed that VSCode automatically saves changes once they are made.
To my knowledge, only the file that the user is working on will be modified.
What drawbacks would there be if a file is directly modified without user
interaction?
Best,
Wen
