    I'm just worried when there's a typing error but it's saved automatically, thanks for the information.

  • In OneDrive, automatic saving is the only way you can save. Sure, you can download a copy of your online document to your local device, but beyond that there is no manual saving. Also, note that the downloaded copy can't be further edited using Word online. 

  • Seems not, AutoSave is always on when working in Word Online with files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint
