Disable the AutoSave feature

The AutoSave feature automatically updates your saved Web pages when changes are saved to the map file from which it was created. You may want to disable this feature in certain circumstances, such as when making interim changes to a map, adding confidential or sensitive information, or if you're saving a map file that was created by someone who is not a trusted source. You can disable the AutoSave feature temporarily while making changes to a map file, or you can disable the AutoSave feature altogether for a particular Web page.

  1. On the Tools menu, select Options.

  2. Check the Show AutoSave message on Save check box, and then click OK.

  3. Make modifications to your map, and then on the File menu, click Save.

  4. In the AutoSave message, click Disable the AutoSave as Web feature while this map is open, and then click OK.

    The AutoSave feature is disabled for the current change and any other changes saved to the map until the map file is closed. The next time the map file is opened, the AutoSave feature is again enabled and you will be prompted about whether to save the changes to your Web pages.
