Yes, I did search, and I see there’s a lot of conversation around this topic already. But There’s a big use case / function not addressed by lettera at the moment: I can’t cancel out of editing a document without writing to it. I see you’ve enabled “auto save” as is the OSX default, but I have a simple use case: I want to be able to edit a file, realise my AI edited the same file too, and cancel out of my editing without overwriting what the AI did. Forcing people through _some_ kind of SAVE is, to me, incorrect. I’d like Lettera to have an option to not auto save.

I’m as big an Apple fan as any, but I do think they’re VERY WRONG on this auto save decision.

UX wise: yes, keep as much user input as possible. But also: let a user cancel out of any operation non destructively, and not being able to exit document without altering it is bad UX.
