Ability to Turn Off "Save Changes" Pop-Up

Updated April 10, 2018
asked on April 6, 2018

If I have a MS Office document open, after having it open, a "Save changes" pop up will appear where I will have to choose whether or not to save changes. I think this is great because it reminds folks to save their changes. However, we're running into issues where because that popup is open other MS Office documents cannot be opened until an option is selected. If someone has multiple documents open, and that popup appears but they don't notice it, they think MS Office is glitched because no other documents can open.

Is there any way to turn this feature off or is it possible as a future feature to not have it interfere with other documents?

Hi Robyn,

 

The blocked issue is by Office. If a dialog is opened in Office, Office also blocks other documents.

 

Per "Turn off save changes", if the document is modified, and the user does not do save operation. The pop-up dialog does not prompt. As you mendtioned, Office Integration will remind of the user to save document immediately if there is modification in the document and user do the save operation.

 

Thanks,

Hi Qinmei,

so the dialog box that pop open to ask users to save their progress (even if I'm not closing the document) cannot be turned off without turning off the dialog box that opens when I am closing the document? If that's the way it functions, then I suppose there is no changing it, but it can get annoying having the system tell you when to save if you're not ready (though I understand the benefit).

thanks,

Robyn
