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 recently optimised autosave to require less processing power, leading to faster invoice loading and saving.
Our decision remains that we won’t be adding an option to turn off autosave on invoices. However, we hope this change improves your experience with autosave in draft invoices over time. Thanks again for your feedback.

(a) i need the option to turn autosave off (it creates too much edit history, and it automatically allocates a new XERO generated invoice number. I REALLY hate that.
(b) for users who elect to turn autosave off, please update the background programming NOT to autosave the incremental invoice number generated by XERO. 99% of the time I override this with my own generated invoice number. I'm not happy for the the solution to be that I have to enter my own invoice number first (although that works, it's not intuitive - I want to work left to right.)
Maybe this will happen by default if you implement the option for users to turn autosave off? But the biggest problem for me with this autosave feature is the way it increments the XERO invoice number each time. I need to track those XERO invoice numbers and use them sequentially for non-core business purposes. It is OK for XERO to suggest the next incremental XERO invoice number, but if I override it during input (at whatever point, before I hit approve), please do NOT increment on the next invoice. Please offer that same XERO invoice number.
