How do I disable Auto Save and get the Save on demand functionality back?

What the title says.  I don't want every little edit I make to a test case to be saved automatically.  Sometimes I make a number of changes that I decide I don't like and want to not save what I have.  I don't want to have to make a new version every time I want to make a few edits, just so that I have something to roll back to. 


Is there a way to disable auto save and get the Save button back?

  • dumbest feature ever!!! wasting so much time fixing all changes accidentally done with it (((((((((

      I don't know.  I don't see a way to check that, and I didnt get any helpful guidance when I googled it.

        From memory you can find the version under the Jira menu Apps > Manage Apps (or something like that) - I don't have admin access at the moment so it's not an option available to me.

    I can't find any mention of an option to enable/disable in the release or help documentation.  Have you tried contacting support @ SmartBear Support

    I don't work for Smartbear, but in fairness to them their customers requested this feature.  Smartbear did a lot of thinking on how best to implement autosave, and then they reached out to customers and road-tested a number of different approaches and took on-board their feedback.  I guess no one flagged the On/Off option, or maybe it wasn't possible - but it does seem like a good idea and a win for everyone! 😊

    I cant stress enough how annoying this feature is.  Please implement an option to toggle it or revert the change.  especially considering you can not undo deleting a step.  This feature is only helpful to people who do not make mistakes.  

  • I registered just to add comment that this feature is so annoying. Please add option to disable it!
