Actually it had auto save for more than a decade. It’s just that now they removed the ability to autosave locally, it must be to onedrive.

It didn’t remove anything, they’re just changing the default save location. You can revert it if you want, it’s all in the article…

You haven’t been able to autosave locally for many years already.

WTF are you talking about, mate?
I’m using Office daily at work. I save data locally non-stop.
I swear to God, this community should be renamed from “Technology” to “Technologically Illiterate”…

This is extremely minor. I don’t understand the fuss.

Right? People have such immensely weird notions about Office, Microsoft and telemetry, as if they stopped using computers in the 90s and then just read some rage-bait headlines for the last 35 years.

Started using Google Docs around 4th/5th grade. I’m a Sophomore in college now…
Still like Google online collaboration more than Microsoft online collaboration, so it’s still dogshit after 20 years…
