    Hi community, as mentioned in my last post we want to keep you looped in on changes around autosave.

    Our product team has continued to focus attention on how we can make invoicing faster and more responsive to improve our customers' experience.

    We've now optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.

    While we don't have any plans to remove autosave, there is the possibility that we would make updates to improve experiences related to autosave in the future - I've provided links below to ideas that have been raised and remain open for consideration;

    Thanks again for all your feedback and sharing with us in the forums here.

    There still seems to be no progress towards making the draft invoice auto save "feature" optional !!

    VERY inconvenient that draft invoices auto-save. I usually create invoices by copying from an existing invoice. The first auto-save happens even before I've typed the invoice # I would like to use rather than the one Xero likes to allocate. the continual auto-save also creates a massive history trail which makes it then difficult to see my history of actual changes.
    Since at least February 2024, users have been requesting that auto-save be either removed or made optional. Will this happen before the legacy version (without auto-save) is removed??
