Hi Joseph,

You can configure the auto-save feature in Collabora Online (which you’re using as Next Office for Nextcloud) directly in the configuration file, specifically `coolwsd.xml`. You won’t find this setting in the user interface, as it is configured server-side.

To adjust the auto-save duration or disable it entirely, follow these steps:

1. **Locate the `coolwsd.xml` file** in your Collabora Online installation. This file is usually found in `/etc/coolwsd/` if you’re using a package installation or in a similar configuration folder for your setup.

2. **Look for the following parameters** in the file:

3. **To disable auto-save** , set `autosave_duration_secs` to `0`.

4. **Restart the coolwsd service** after making changes to apply the new settings.

Let me know if you need more details!

Best regards,  
Darshan
