Frequently Asked Questions

Does Microsoft Word automatically save to OneDrive?

AutoSave in Microsoft Word saves your file automatically, but it's not a traditional save to OneDrive - it's more like a continuous backup. To confirm, check if your file is stored on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online
