Important: Do not use AutoRecover as a substitute for regularly saving your files by using AutoSave (see below) or by clicking Save. Saving your files frequently is the best way to preserve your work.You can set how frequently these AutoRecover files are saved. For example, if you set AutoRecover to save every 5 minutes, you may recover more information in the event of unexpected shutdown — such as from a power outage — than if it's set to save every 10 or 15 minutes.If you manually save your file, the previous AutoRecover files are removed because you've just saved your changes.AutoSave is a different feature which automatically saves your file as you work - just like if you save the file manually - so that you don't have to worry about saving on the go. On the Mac, AutoSave is available in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 for Mac subscribers. When AutoSave is turned on AutoRecover files are rarely needed.For more information see.
