Why is Auto-save turned on for some Office 365 Word/Excel files but not for others
Why isn't auto-save turned on for all documents even though it's turned on in Options->Save
My Office says not enabled: Save on One Drive or SharePoint to enable this feature. Make sure you are doing that if you wish Auto Save to work.

All the files are saved on One Drive and SharePoint.
Thanks for the update. Perhaps try an Office Repair on the Systems not working

So what's the best way to repair. Just run the set up again? Sorry dumb question
In most cases, open Control Panel, Programs and Features, click on Office and select Repair (it may be part of Change).
The user can opt to turn the feature off for individual files. Is that a possibility? When new updates are run, it turns back on again for all.

The thing is the option button is grayed out so can't manually be changed
So on the particular document, what do you see in the File>Options>Save category? Is the autosave feature enabled here?

yes it is.

So I may have missed the whole point of Auto-Save. The tool tip when i hover over the AutoSave button says: Save to OneDrive Online if you want to use AutoSave. I thought it would be enabled for SharePoint files sync'd to my local computer via OneDrive. It was turned on when i edited a doc directly from the sharepoint Site
So then it was (first answer here) the need for using SharePoint? Or One Drive if using that?

I just checked another staff person is set up and they’re autosave is on with the same environment that I have OneDrive syncing SP files to our local drive
