Ability to Listen to Save Events in Word, Excel and PowerPoint
Hi Office-JS team,
There should be a way to execute custom logic when a user saves a document in Word, Excel and PowerPoint using Office Add-ins.
Currently, Office.js does not appear to expose any event or callback for detecting when a document is saved. This limitation prevents us from implementing scenarios like syncing document state with external systems on save or performing other custom actions.
Please provide a way to detect document saving by user and execute custom actions.
Thank you!

rahul-chanana You’re right . I’m facing the same issue. Since we can’t detect auto-save or Ctrl+S events, it becomes very challenging to keep the document properly synced with our external system.
