How to Disable auto save option in wiki pages.

Question

I have created a page out of Enterprise wiki. When someone edits the page content and doesn’t hit the save button in the ribbon, the changes are still saved.  Is there any option to disable this? Ideally, I want users changes to be saved only when they hit the save button.

 I read in one of the video tutorial, that Wiki pages in SP2010 has auto save option. Just wondering where to configure this?

I found another link which says about this. But not helpfull info.

Any link/references would be a great help.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi Ravi,

you can use the contenteditable=false attribute for all html control this is from HTML5, so that user can't edit the content on browser

Answer 2

Hi Ravi,

Did users get confirmation dialog when tried to leave page in edit mode without saving? When I try this, I would get a pop-up asking me if I want save my changes.

Please check this article about the auto save mechanism in SharePoint:
