The document "" could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application."

I've seen other members with the same problem. Anyone find a solution?

Lost Word document I am using Word in iPad Pro. I completed a uni assessment last night and when I went to review it just now, the file name is there but the document has no content. Auto save was on. Can anyone help me with this disaster. Assessment is due today.

Please turn off auto save! I know how you are supposed to do it, but it only partly works. You go to General Prefs and select "ask to keep changes when closing documents", but only partly works. Say you make a change to a document called "moonshine" and then you Save As and call it "moonshine 2". You then close that document and you have the original and the second one, but go and look at the original called "moonshine" and you will find that it has been overwritten and is now the same as "moonshine 2". No prompt to change it, but you original document is lost. The work around is to go and open the original, go into the file menu and choose to revert to a previous version and then save it again. A multistep process just to keep the document as it was. Why does Apple do this? Is there a way to avoid it?

Do you have the same document simultaneously opened in Pages for iCloud, or Pages for iOS, and on your Mac with Pages for Mac?
