Auto Saved on Office App

Copper Contributor

When we are doing annotation on the document, it will automatically save every few seconds.

 

How to disable the auto saved on the Office App from the Surface Hub? Or is this a normal behavior?

Are you referring to Office Online, or the Office apps installed on the Hub?
Office Online (eg. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote) saves whenever you make a modification even as small as a character.
The Office apps installed on the Hub - I'm not so sure but I wouldn't be surprised given they are effectively the same as the mobile apps.

Hello,

Save Button is old school, it is going to disapear in the long run. This behavior is changing as we speak on Office 2016 and is already in place in Office Mobile.
It is not something you can disable. The reason why is we are working hard on coauthoring experience and not having to save is a prereq. As we want a seamless experience the save button is removed.
Hope it makes sense
