Agree with all the comments - remove autosave immediately.
Not sure why it has not been done so already with all the negative feedback.

I am having constant issues with the auto save causing invoice to freeze.
The only way forward is to refresh the page and loose all the entered data.

This happens for almost every line that is inputted.

Please, remove the auto save function.

Its an utterly useless feature for us.

IMO, Xero are not wanting to deal with larger office based businesses going forwards but focus on small peripatetic businesses like gardeners, plumbers and electricians that wander from job to job and house to house and rely on flakey 4G service on the mobile app. They create an invoice on the fly at a customers house so Autosave on the mobile app means they dont forget to save it.

Anyway please scrap it.

I already didn't like Autosave as it causes such a slowdown in operation but now that I see it logs each and every time you change something it makes the file history utterly stupidly verbose and completely useless.

Seriously, either give us the option to turn it off or get rid of it completely. I cannot state strongly enough how dumb it is.

Please give us the options to turn auto save off. It saves all changes/errors in the 'History/Notes' log before the invoice is complete.

I was not finished typing the Customer in the Customer field when it saved and created a new client.

What is the point suggesting excellent "business features" when Xero can't even respond. Seriously, without looking at every comment, straight away it is very clear that the majority of people who voted are in favour of having an

OPTION TO TURN AUTOSAVE OFF!!!!!!

There has been XERO RESPONSE to this, what I believe, to be a simple solution to so many of our invoicing issues/delay!

Completely agree with others on this post. Auto-save isn't helpful to our organisation at all. We really need a option to disable autosave.

We have trialled the new invoicing template and we sometimes have over 100 lines for one invoice - with Classic invoicing this didn't seem to be an issue. However, with the auto save on the new invoicing template it is very, very slow at loading the invoice as it is saving each line as it comes over. It would be nice to have the option to switch Autosave off.

I would like to be able to turn off autosave. We use the invoice to do mock invoices to check our sell price etc and we would normally just delete once the exercise is completed and the invoice number is still there for use next time. Now we have to delete the whole thing which isn't ideal at all.

We should have the option to turn on or off autosave, it doesn't seem right that the choice isn't ours.

Agreed - there is no up side to this function for us, only negative

The auto save in the new Invoicing is creating a problem with us having to delete multiple draft Invoices -
Staff are often called away from their desk and with their draft autosaving and another Staff member raising it on another login
Is there a way that we can go back to a draft only being created when we press save

Autosave is broken!
Why is it even on by default?
Who used for this feature?
Just opening a daft invoice apparently classifies as an edit in "New Invoicing"!

Programming Autosave #101, Before implementing Autosave, implement versioning and versioning rollbacks.

Give us the option to turn off Autosave, this is causing so many issues.

the auto save function is annoying because you can easily loose data from misclicks.

I use an invoice to check our sell prices and then don't save so the invoice number can be used. Please allow us to be able to turn off Auto Save. It really makes no sense at all that we can't change this?????????????

Something I noticed today, when an invoice autosaves and you have attachments open in the same view, it changes the visible attachment to the first one in the list. Which is REALLY ANNOYING when I'm copying information off of an attachment that isn't the first one.

Hi Xero, are you able to give us feedback on whether having the option to disable the autosave is something that is being seriously considered, and if so, what the timeframe is please?
Your product team may think waiting up to five seconds for a button to activate in the data entry screen isn't such a big deal (which I'm guessing is why they introduced this feature without the ability to turn it off), but this is happening to me multiple times a day, and is becoming increasingly frustrating everytime it does. Especially when none of the other cloud software I use to run my business has this issue.
Come on Xero, can you communicate with us on what the plan is here please. I don't expect this to be fixed tomorrow, but I would like to know that you're listening and there's light at the end of this tunnel....?

This is causing all sorts of problems with our invoicing. You can't breath without it saving. We have lost previous invoice information without the option of reverting back and it has slowed down the whole process because every time you press return it is saving. XERO GIVE US THE OPTION OF AUTO SAVE, NOT HAVE IT AS A DEFAULT WITH NO OPTIONS!

We also have massive issues with this feature being a default. PLEASE make the "auto save" as an option. I dont need to itemise the resons for my request as the many many many others that have the same problem have detailed enough reasons.

i have a software's which are integrated with xero and this auto save feature will slow me down by a lot
1. when i make an invoice it will go to my logistics app with the order but when it starts saving before i finish it will go to the logistics app with a uncompleted order
2. all my clients have different pricing so i like to press add last item so i can't proceed with your idea of making the order then adding the clients name because ill need to go up and down with pages to make sure im in putting the right price
i strongly advice adding a toggle to turn this feature off because i don't have much time until September to adapt to this method and slow me down as i get over 100 orders for each day
