Macbook Air M1 close lid

Hi All,

Have a new Macbook Air M1 and first time using Big Sur. Previous OSXs had the Power Options in setting to determine how/when the computer went to sleep. Any idea on how to do this with my current set up? I want my computer to go to sleep when I close the lid. Thanks !

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Actually, going to sleep at lid close should be the default behavior.


Anyway, on Big Sur, you’ll find the corresponding settings panel in the system preferences application under “Battery” (is usually the third icon in the last row).
