AutoSave is available on all M365 office files with a subscription that saves your files without having to save the files manually.
AutoSave goes hand in hand with versioning. Make sure versioning is turned on the library where the files are stored.
Note: Office app will not save automatically every few seconds If you turn off AutoSave and therefore there is a chance that users may not see each other changes.
You can control Autosave using:
- Group policies.
- Office Apps Admin center using cloud policies.
- Manually for each Office files. File > Options > Save > AutoSave files stored in the Cloud by default in Word
- Using AutoSave toggle from the top of Office file. It will remember the last manual toggle setting for that specific file when you reopen.
