Office JS Save and Close methods for Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Hello!

 

These are two features which we are extremely interested in. I've been asking in many Community Calls but I haven't had any ETAs yet, so hopefully posting here helps.

 

Please could we have a consistent method for Word, Excel and PowerPoint to save a file? Word and Excel have ‘context.document.save()’ and ‘context.workbook.save() but they lack similar options for behaviors (eg. skip the save dialogue). PowerPoint does not have context.presentation.save() yet. Please could we have an equivalent method for all three (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) with similar options/behaviors? This is really needed for developers. Please an ETA would be appreciated.

 

Similar to the previous question, could we have an equivalent method for all three (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to close files with similar options/behaviors? This is also really needed for developers. Please an ETA would be appreciated.

 

Thank you so much in advance!

    Thanks for posting the asks. Do you mind share more details for your scenarios to help us understand how critical the consistent save APIs / close file APIs are for you? This will help us to understand the requirements better. Thanks.
