If it’s happened to you, you know how frustrating it can be: when you’ve been working hard, and then something happens and you lose all of your hard work. Super sad face.

To keep this from happening again in the future – enable AutoSave!

Sign into OneDrive

In order to utilize AutoSave for your Microsoft files, you must be signed into OneDrive (or SharePoint online).

To sign into OneDrive:

1. Open any Microsoft application (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc…)
2. Select File
3. Then Account
4. Sign in with your Microsoft account (your RRC Polytech account)
5. Once signed in, your OneDrive will appear as a save location

Enable AutoSave

1. Open your document
2. Save it to OneDrive
   • Select File
   • Then Save As
   • Then Select OneDrive
3. In the top left of the ribbon toggle AutoSave on

Bonus Tip!

Don’t see the AutoSave option? Search for it in the search bar in the top middle of the ribbon.
