-Auto Save does save frequently, but archives only a few versions of your model.  Auto Save archives your model about once an hour for a day, then once a day for a week, and then once a week for some number of weeks.  Appple calls these Versions and you can browse them with the Versions browser (see below).+Auto Save does save frequently, but archives only a few versions of your model.  Auto Save archives your model about once an hour for a day, then once a day for a week, and then once a week for some number of weeks.  Apple calls these Versions and you can browse them with the Versions browser (see below).

-Yes, BUT it is **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** that you **DO NOT DO THIS**.  Rhino for Mac is designed to work with Versions and Autosaving; performance and stability may be impacted if you disable this.  Additionally, you will lose the ability to add tags, rename or move the file from the window title, etc.  If, for some reason, you need to disable it, you will need to launch //Terminal.app// and run the following command: +Unfortunately in Rhino 5, 6, and 7 for Mac, the answer is "No, you can not disable Auto Save."
-    defaults write com.mcneel.rhinoceros ApplePersistence -bool no     +
-This will disable autosaving and versions and bring back the Save As in the File menu (instead of Duplicate).+
  
-To change back to default behavior, enter the Terminal command again but replace 'no' with 'yes': +In Rhino 8 for Mac, there is an experimental command called **TestToggleMacAutosaveVersions** which allows you to toggle this feature. You must restart Rhino for this to take effect.  **NOTE**: Please use with caution and keep backups of your files.
-    defaults write com.mcneel.rhinoceros ApplePersistence -bool yes     +
-To check to see what that current setting is, use: +
-    defaults read com.mcneel.rhinoceros ApplePersistence     +
-If it returns a 0 (or a pair not found error), it is disabled.  If it returns a 1, it is on. +
- +
-**NOTE**: The above steps do not work on macOS Mojave 10.14.  We do not currently know of a viable workaround.+
