However, what doesn't seem to work is that this AutoSave is storing locally on the client – at least I didn't find anything in a hurry. In addition, there is an article How do I turn on AutoSave? from Microsoft that explains how to turn on AutoSave. The article also includes a FAQ on the topic.ĪutoSave is enabled by default in Microsoft 365 when a file is stored on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business or in SharePoint Online. The file the user is working on is then saved every few seconds. Microsoft has published the article What is AutoSave? for Office 365 on the topic, explaining that AutoSave is a new feature available in Excel, Word and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 subscribers. Note: Some features listed below are not included in Excel LTSC 2021 for commercial customers. Before the option can be turned on, there must be a connection to the cloud. Excel 2021 for Windows allows you to collaboratively work with others and analyze data easily with new Excel capabilities including co-authoring, Dynamic Arrays, XLOOKUP, and LET functions. Now, the person in question saw the AutoSave option in Office 2021 and got the indication that this feature can only save files to the cloud. So a Facebook post in an MVP group immediately jumped out at me.ĪutoSave cyclically save the currently edited documents, in order to be able to fall back on the previous backup in case of a crash. Microsoft added that "there are no changes to Office 365 subscription plans.I confess I wasn't really aware of it, as I've opted out of Office as an author with Microsoft Office 2019 – as a user, I use older versions of Word, for what little manuscript editing I still need to do. However, it's now considered a legacy brand, so any new features will be for Microsoft 365 and not Office, according to The Verge. The Office name will remain for one-time purchases through Office 2021 and Office LTSC that offers apps through volume licensing. There will also be a Microsoft 365 app on mobile and desktop that will act as a centralized hub for information, showing meetings, files, documents and more.
The app names themselves won't change, as you'll still be using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook, Clipchamp, Stream and Designer.
The changes will happen next month, and the Office app for Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android will be rebranded in January. "In the coming months,, the Office mobile app, and the Office app for Windows will become the Microsoft 365 app, with a new icon, a new look, and even more features," a FAQ states.Ĭurrently, you can access Microsoft's Word, Excel and other apps online at, but that will soon be switched to - with a new six-sided logo replacing the current square one. Now, it's removing most of the remaining Office branding, according to new updates spotted by The Verge. Back in 2020, Microsoft announced that it would be changing the name of its Office 365 subscription to Microsoft 365, acknowledging that it had become more than just a work app.
