Automatically Save Feature
How do I remove this feature from my Quick Access Toolbar from any file that I open and so that it will not Auto Save, period. When I work on a spreadsheet for 10 minutes, I do not want Excel to save every minute so I then loose the original file. And no I do not want to go and track the old versions that is insane. Sometimes I want to start over, close the file, not save it, and start from where I left off yesterday. Even when I remove the Auto Save button, it still Auto Saves the file. Recovering the file when the computer crashes or turns off or the battery runs out is one thing, but please help me remove Auto Save from my version of Excel completely. Its new and in my world very annoying.

You may OFF it by default in settings
Button will still exists, but in OFF, with it you may switch ON for the concrete file.
About a month ago the Auto Save feature on my Excel Workbooks disappeared. When I open the Options window I do not have any mention of Auto Save? Your thoughts? SergeiBaklan
Sorry, don't know. If you are on valid 365 subscription it shall be. What is AutoSave? (microsoft.com)
Tee1989 Well, you can just switch it "Off".
