AutoSave Not Available. This file location doesn't support AutoSave. Save to OneDrive or SharePoint Online if you want to use AutoSave.
This issue impacts the Office 2016 Monthly Channel Version 1708 (Build 8431.2079) update and higher. Coauthoring and autosave are not yet supported for customers who are on the FRDC or SA (Semi-Annual) release channel.
STATUS: FIXED
