-No, you can not disable Auto Save on Rhino for Mac.+Unfortunately in Rhino 5, 6, and 7 for Mac, the answer is "No, you can not disable Auto Save."
  
-**Note:** It was possible prior to macOS Mojave 10.14. +In Rhino 8 for Mac, there is an experimental command called **TestToggleMacAutosaveVersions** which allows you to toggle this featureYou must restart Rhino for this to take effect **NOTE**: Please use with caution and keep backups of your files.
-Apple is not allowing this to be disabled and has provided no viable workaround. +
