Premiere Pro 2023 Autosave location

Why has the Auto-save location feature changed in Premiere Pro 2023? Previously Auto-Save would allow me to choose the default location for my Auto-Saves. I generally have it set up to be in the same folder as the project file just like After Effects does. I DO NOT want anything going onto my C drive buried deep in other folders! I do not know when this changed, but please tell me how I can get back to how it used to work.

    Thank Neil. So I see this option, but that sets a specific folder. Not allowing it to be wherever the project file is located.

    In the Project Settings dialog box under Scratch Disk tab, click the Project Auto Save pop-up menu (currently set to "Custom" in your screenshot) and choose "Same As Project.

    Then click OK.

    The scratch disk options are always in the Project settings dialog, on PCs in the File/Project Settings dialog, the Scratch Disk tab. On Macs that's what, the Premiere menu or whatever ... it's the farthest left main menu list on both I think.

    So I've looked at that, but it does not so what it used to. I can't recall where the old options were exactly, but I did not have to do this per project. It was a default setting for all my projects. Setting the scratch disk doesn't move the Auto-Save folder to the same location of my projects. I have the scratch disk set to an NVME drive for fast access to the scratch files. I am unsure how setting the scratch disk chooses my Auto-Save location where it hadn't seemed to work that way in the past.
