Extremely frustrating new 'feature' auto-saves my files when I close them, without asking if I want to save. I cannot find an option in preferences to turn this off.

To reproduce, save a file to the adobe cloud then make a series of destructive changes and close the file window with the X icon.

Correct answer Drop Mic Shadow

Hi, I had this exact same problem and frustration. I found that you can revert to a previous version via the Adobe Cloud interface.

AFAIK, this is how cloud services work everywhere. It's what people expect.

If you don't like it, save locally.

Wait a second, I'm using Photoshop not a 'cloud service'. Adobe Creative Cloud storage is a different service. When I and anybody else in my organisation uses Photoshop they expect that closing the file allows them to casually destroy any unsaved changes, as it has done for years and years.

Didn't you just say you were saving to cloud? ("To reproduce, save a file to the adobe cloud")
