Numbers did not autosave

On clicking the template to create the base of your Numbers document, did you immediately:

• Go to the File menu and choose Save?
• Give the new document a Name.?
• Choose a folder in which it should be saved?
• Click Save to save the document (in its then current state) in that folder

Auto save does not begin until you have saved the document.

After that, your Mac will save current states at regular (and short) intervals.

I very rarely hit File > Save in Numbers. In my experience that not necessary for autosave to start.

The key, I think, is not to save manually but rather to rename a document from the default 'Unititled' to something more meaningful.

After a new document is renamed, on my machine autosave starts automatically. There's really no need for a reminder in the app.

" It would be good that the app reminds one to save after a period of about 10 to 15 minutes of starting to prevent that. "

Click on the Numbers menu, then choose Provide Numbers Feedback to get a form on which to make a Feature Request.

That way your message goes straight to Apple.

Here, your audience is people who use Numbers, and your reply will most likely come from one or more of those fellow users.

Apple provides the space for these discussions, but does not actively participate in them. Hosts and Moderators scan for compliance with the terms of use, Community Specialists check for questions receiving no responses within a reasonable time, and provide a response, usually pointing to a knowledge base article which may assist the user in finding an answer. Members ofthe product development teams, and Apple Leadership do not participate here.
