You surely must have noticed the AutoSave button on the Office Apps on Mac such as Word, Excel, or Powerpoint. But when you click on it, nothing really happens.

Why is the AutoSave button not working?
It seems like the autoSave option only works for the files that are stored in OneDrive. Make sure that you have stored the file in the Cloud.
How to enable this option
Just go to File and Save a copy in OneDrive. Once you do that you will see a message: "AutoSave is On - We are automatically saving your changes for you."
