Using a file on ipad opened in Word, and it uploads about once a minute automatically, so I have a huge number of versions very quickly. Can I stop this from happening?
Question
ipad app uploads very frequently
Hi Zena,
Welcome to the Box Community!
Office Online does not have a Save button so all changes are autosaved every 30s-60s and, unfortunately, this autosave feature cannot be turned off. Every time the document autosaves, a new version will be created.
This behavior is explain in this outside source from a Microsoft community page: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365admin-mso_shareon/how-to-disable-office-online-autosave/5a4a0ae3-4ec9-4873-a5a0-089d41b7e8cc
