Unfortunately, the world now wants to be autosaved. One day, you might need to look at the usage pattern and AutoSave, perhaps when idle or after a set action is done (or fall back to the default timer). Otherwise, get a checkbox/radio that turns ON/OFF the options to "Autosave."

I'm not sure I want to go back to a world where I could lose a few hours work because I didn't save my work incrementally. (That said, as others suggest, you want to have a way to say known good/useful checkpoints as well.)

There's a dialog asking if you really want to quit without saving your work.

[ghaff]

If you used programs like Lotus back in the day, you'd realize that that you tended to develop muscle memory to just quit in many cases. You also had crashes that kept you from saving as well.

Yes, I agree, it might be a thing now.
