AutoSave is a feature in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, and PowerPoint) that automatically saves your work every few seconds to OneDrive or SharePoint. While helpful in many cases, some users prefer to have full control over when their documents are saved, especially when working on sensitive or temporary files.
How to Turn Off AutoSave:
Disable AutoSave for a Specific Document
1. Open your Excel, Word, or PowerPoint file.
2. At the top-left, you'll see the AutoSave toggle.
3. Switch AutoSave to Off.
