What happened to Auto-Save in Office 2016 for docs located in OneDrive for Business?
Has there been any update to this feature? It is still missing in Word. I am using a document stored in Sharepoint. The old save icon with the arrows is there but not the AutoSave button.
The top-left autosave switch reappeared in Excel, but not in Word. These were both installed with the same online Office 365 installer--not separately. The autosave works in Excel for SharePoint/OneDrive docs. It used to work in Word, too, until I domain-joined my machine and logged in with an on-premises AD account.
AutoSave is available (only) in Excel and PowerPoint 2016 for Office 365 subscribers, at least according to this article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/What-is-AutoSave-6d6bd723-ebfd-4e40-b5f6-ae6e8088f7a5
Good catch - however, the switch also appears in Word under some conditions (which are unclear to me at this point).
