Hi everyone, we appreciate interest from you all here in being able to adopt autosave into Quotes. Across the board there are mixed reviews from users that would, and those that would not like to see this enhancement across Xero features.
Right now, the current experience requires you to click Save on the quote before navigating to another screen in Xero.
We appreciate there are other contributing factors to the need here like session timeouts and internet connectivity.
Being upfront this isn't a feature we have roadmapped at this time, however our product teams are aware of the needs and interest of this here and will take this into consideration as they continue to plan the future of Quotes across Xero. If there are any plans to progress this we'll make sure to keep you all informed and updated through this idea. Thanks

Oh, Xero. You've outdone yourselves yet again. Working on a quote? Sure! But why finish it when you can experience the thrill of losing everything!
AUTO-SAVE! AUTO-SAVE! AUTO-SAVE! – you know, that fancy feature every piece of modern software (and their dog) uses? Not for you guys, though. Nah, let’s stick with the ol' “press save or perish" method. Keeps us on our toes!
No auto-save? What a bold move! Revolutionary, even. Why auto save when you can invoke a roller coaster of emotions every time I switch screens or—dare I say it—press "save"? Because nothing says "productivity" like losing an hour's work to... well, nothing.
Let's talk heartbreak, Xero. Picture this: One glorious hour away from my children, crafting the quote of the century. Everything’s going swimmingly, my creative juices are flowing like a river—click, click, click, I'm a quoting machine! I hit return, and BOOM! Xero, in all its wisdom, sends me off to create a new product. And just like that, my masterpiece vanishes into the digital ether. Auto-save? Nah, who needs that when we can just guess what we lost, right?
I can already feel the panic creeping in whenever I start a new quote. Do I save after every line? Every breath? Maybe after every blink, just in case! Because nothing screams "reliable" like a system that doesn't save your work... unless you beg it to, repeatedly.
And now, today’s pièce de résistance: I was really in the groove, adding items like a man possessed. Oh, what a quote it was becoming! The detail! The precision! And then, bam, Xero pulls a fast one, shoves me into the abyss of creating a new product—and my beautiful work? Lost to the abyss because, once again, NO AUTO-SAVE!
Honestly, it’s almost impressive that Xero, a tool I pay £550 a year for, can't manage to include a feature that free software nailed decades ago. Google? Pfft, what do they know? Auto-saving people's work... as if!
Let me be serious for just one second though, Xero. What exactly am I paying for? Because at this point, I’m thinking my subscription fee is going to fund a cutting-edge time-travel feature—where I get to go back and re-do all my lost work.
So please, spare us all the heartache. Frame this email, hang it proudly, and remember: This was the moment. The moment you finally realised that AUTO-SAVE is not some mythical creature. It’s real, it's useful, and it's about time you got on board.
