davidP-136	Hi Kor, We have removed all autosave entries, but the strange issue still persists. Currently, autosaves are not happening by default. However, as mentioned earlier, when I make a change and reload the page without saving, an autosave is created. If I reload the page again, the autosave disappears automatically. Here is the video for your reference, demonstrating the issue on this page: hidden link In the video I have shared about this page. hidden link Could you please investigate this from scratch and help ensure the issue is fully resolved, so we don’t encounter it again or face any unusual behaviour? Thank you.

davidP-136	Hi Kor, It is on old pages only, but if we duplicate the page, then yes, we face the same issue.
