Is it possible to configure Lightroom to auto save edits to the source file?

Question

Would prefer to save edits to the original file instead of having to export the changes to a new file. Is this possible?

Lightroom or Lightroom Classic? What version NUMBER? (We need the version NUMBER and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date")

Do you mean you want the original photo file to have its pixels modified based upon your edits? No, this can't be done, this is not a feature of Lightroom or Lightroom Classic.

Do you mean write the edits (as text) to the original photo file? Is this photo file RAW, DNG, JPG, TIF, other?
