AutoSave Problems

The new autosave can't be disabled. If I'm experimenting on a funnel step, I want to be able to go back and NOT SAVE my work if I've not been able to create the desired result. Having AUTOSAVE always on stops me doing this.
I was doing a lot of work on the global section footer and I didn't like it so I wanted to go back and NOT save, yet it had auto-saved and it was a bit of work to get everything back as this was a new funnel and I couldn't revert to an earlier version so I had to go back in and fix up the global section footer which took time.
While AUTOSAVE is a great idea, it would be good if there was a toggle button so you could choose to have it ON or OFF.

This is really annoying specially with large pages

A simple toggle to turn on or off would be appreciated.
It is annoying to have it on permanently.

The new Autosave feature has broken the funnel and website builders. Even saving every ten minutes, as some have suggested, is a workaround at best. We need the ability to turn autosave off completely so that we can work in a way that is effective and efficient.

This also causes a problem when updating global elements - you constantly have to click the popup when editing these elements.

I couldn't agree with you more. It is so frustrating

Another disadvantage is that it is practically impossible to work effectively on pages with a lot of content, such as sales pages of 8k-10k words, where, unlike on small pages, saving takes a few seconds. So in my case, it's a 5-second pause every 5 seconds. I don't understand who might need autosaving every 5 seconds. The 10 minutes you wrote about in your release notes of this feature are reasonable, even 5 minutes wouldn't be a problem, but 5 seconds is madness.

yes, this is needed 100%. the new autosave feature was designed pretty badly. autosaving and freezing the platform every 5 seconds WHILE you're working is NOT cool at all. other platforms autosave doesn't disrupt your workflow and freeze the entire builder like this does.
