Hi Fed,
Here are two ways to this:
- You can turn off Autosave by default in each Office client. For example, Word: Files > Options > Save > uncheck the box next to AutoSave OneDrive and SharePoint Online files by default on Word> restart Word. This will only switch the Autosave toggle to Off when you open files from OneDrive or SharePoint, you can still turn it on in Word or other clients if you like.
- If you have OneDrive Sync client installed, you can turn off this function in OneDrive: right-click OneDrive icon in the taskbar > Settings > Office > uncheck the box next to Use Office applications to sync Office files that I open > OK. This will disable Autosave function in Office client applications. You will need to change the settings in OneDrive again if you need Autosave.

Use Office applications to sync Office files that I open
