Auto-save on file close: HOW DO I TURN THIS OFF

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.

    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.

        I'm not sure who you are referring to but please refrain from personal attacks. Adobe has chosen to auto-save when using cloud documents, there is not currently a way to change that.
