I dont know if this has been asked or explained but I can not find it... Can I just save my work when I am ready?

Disable autosave
Nope. Always saved.
Why do you want this?
I am working, making changes and then if I am not satisfied I dont have to remember all the changes I have to revert to get where I started... Right now I am hiting ctrl+z like never before.
If I want to test something, I copy the parent item (or page) then work on the copy and then choose which to keep.
Got it, yeah when you have some actions to undo then its the undo command, but if you are heavily experimenting with your changes and want to have a way to throw it all away, currently best way is to either do this on a separate page and use local style source so that it doesn't affect any tokens or copy to a different project
What will help in the future is versioning, so you can see see what current state is and then jump back if needed.
I think "not saving it for a while" is not the right path. You will most likely want to save it even as an experiment even if you don't use it. Its a form of experementation. If we just add "autosave" off, then next thing people will want is still ability to save under a different name.
I understand. I will get used to this system.. I am used to Bricks now and there I can choose how this functions behave
There is actually one trick you can do - use view only share link, this way its not saving any changes πŸ™‚
maybe this way with duplicate project makes more sense.. I can copy paste changes if I am satisfied.
But versioning should take care of my problem
