Screen grab (Spectacle)

Using a password-protected corporate spreadsheet and do not have the password. When Autosave kicks in, I see multiple windows as attached, which effectively blocks any further data entry. Obviously Autosave could be switched off, but if it's such a good idea, couldn't it be executed without the password?

What's more, "Export" is a misleading term. It means transferring something outside the local environment, whereas "auto save" definitely means retaining something within the local environment.
