The AutoSave as Web page feature automatically updates your saved Web pages when changes are saved to the map file from which it was created. You may want to turn off this feature in certain circumstances, such as when making interim changes to a map, adding confidential or sensitive information, or saving a map file that was created by someone who is not a trusted source. You can turn off the AutoSave as Web page feature for a specific map. You can also turn off the AutoSave as Web page feature temporarily while making changes to a map file.
