Remove auto save

Sometimes I open files just to copy assets to another file, and move things around. I don't undo that coz sometimes I move stuff without even being aware. But when I close XD it doesn't even ask if I want to save changes. It automatically saves changes I didn't intend to save. It's very frustrating. Please give option to disable automatic save. If it automatically saves a copy on crash it's understandable, but this saves the main file. All unintended changes get saved.

    So annoying, auto save is saving every copy/paste instance and when I relocate a component. I only want it to auto save every hour not at every instance

    The performance hit seems to be a big issue for a lot of people.
    In my case, I'm usually just changing opacity of foreground elements to export backgrounds. My edits should NOT be creating new revisions that can potentially interrupt or mess up the designers who are also actively working on other parts of the document. A quick toggle for a read-only mode shouldn't be rocket science to implement.

    Why after three years has this not been fixed! It's so frustrating trying to work and having xd freeze on you while you are still making changes. I really want to use this product over Figma, but they don't have this issue.

    please adobe! you have to improve a lot on the auto-saving or allow users to remove it, is a kind of a nightmare and I waste a lot of time just trying to move an element or even doing zoom-in zoom-out... and my MacBook is a new version recently bought it, so don't try to say that "must be my MacBook"

    Especially for mobile developers (e.g. android, iOS) who need to export icons, backgrounds etc from XD, it is often necessary to delete other elements (text and buttons on top of the intended image for export). Mobile developers should rarely have a reason to update a shared design spec document so being able to disable autosave is crucial for the intended role XD is intended to serve in development pipelines.

    Agreed, in many cases you are just experimenting with particular changes that you very well may abandon. The auto save feature makes this very difficult.

    Agreed. Please remove it or allow users the control in "save"time periods.

    This is a terrible UX feature - I've just lost a whole afternoons work because of it.

    Firstly, I saved as a cloud document when I began working.

    Adobe decided to autosave WHILE I was saving as a new document, having just deleted the content of my page to start a new piece of work. This meant that my first piece of work was saved over before I'd clicked 'save as' - SO I'VE LOST EVERYTHING.

    SORT. IT. OUT.

    On a shared project, auto save makes designers' lives impossible. I want to decide if and when to commit changes.

    Either remove this Auto save feature, or give us the control to enable/disable it. or a place where we can set the interval of it. This feature (Autosave in XD) is designer killer.

    Agreed. This is a poor UX decision. Most competent designers are used to saving frequently. By taking away control from the user, you are dictating how they work and interrupt the decision-making process. I cannot see a sound business advantage in this decision. As a long time user of your products, I look forward to the day when all of your programs behave in the same general way.
