What happened to Auto-Save in Office 2016 for docs located in OneDrive for Business?
Hi Chris. I'm on the same build, 8201.2025 on the Office Insider Fast ring.
I still have the AutoSave toggle switch in the top left corner and was using it yesterday. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed the feature disappear and come back again.
Hi Darrell,
Interesting. I hope someon can figure out what the change is because I really liked that feature.
What version of the OneDrive client are you running? Mine is 17.3.6816.0313.
Same OneDrive client as you. I don't think it relates to the OneDrive client.
I have two Office 365 accounts connected to Office. The primary being my work account and I have added another tenant as an additional storage location. Sometimes Office prompts me to log in again to the second tenant. I think before logging in again, the AutoSave toggle wasn't available. So it might be related to the Office 365 account you have signed into Office with, and whether the session has timed out. (I'm thinking out loud. But I could be way off the mark.)
Did you guys figure out anything more on this? I unjoined a machine from Azure and joined it to the local domain, and, when I logged on with the domain account and fired up Word, the switch was missing. Redownloaded and still nothing. Now on 1708.
Works great on my home PC.
In both cases Office was installed from Office.com using my work account, which has the first release enabled, and logged into with that account as well.
