thank you for sharing your opinion. However, we always encourage respectful communication as we believe it helps for the cooperation towards a common goal.
The auto-save function comes by default with the blog and it's not possible to turn iit off as for now. Could you please elaborate why auto-save is disturbing to you? I am happy to include your request to the features Wishlist.
The Wix Blog had an impressive journey since 2018 in terms of features, SEO integration, Wix Blog+Corvid integration and many more. You can check the blog updates here: https://www.wix-blog-community.com/blog/
The Wix company is using Wix Blog for its own blogs, to mention a few:
As of 1 March 2020 the new blog is so much WORSE than the old blog. How do you turn off autosave (control/shift/A does not work) - the new blog is so slow it is unusable! Simona I see these problems are ongoing since October 2018 - you folks should be embarrassed...RESIGN
of course we are listening to user and are working to address the issues - all Blog team is working for the better experience of Blog users. As mentioned in my previous comment, we are about to release the pagination feature in dashboard, which will solve the problem. It should be rolled out in a week or so.
@Simona Griskute & @Sandra Harvey - The problem is with the Wix Back Office Blog Manager, it cannot handle more than a couple of hundred posts. I have 2,000+ blog posts in the New Wix Blog and it cannot handle it at all. The problem is: On the dashboard manager, it loads EVERY single posts in your blog, instead of having pagination or 'Lazy Loading' (which loads the content as you are scrolling). It actually freezes my full browser and crashes it, so i have to basically close my browser completely. Yes, you could say "well, why don't you use the live site to create posts" - for me, this is unproffesional and it's not how a news company would do things. I want to use the back office, simple as that. Again, i have emphasised this major flaw for months now and we still have no fix yet. I hope it will come soon though and i always have trust in Wix, but guys, this is slow! Wordpress will be laughing at Wix for this. We need things to happen faster and all the bugs to be fixed and the blog to load super fast. Thank you for listening and i hope a fix is revealed soon :)
It is the blog dashboard. It is driving me mad! It is also throwing my blog posts in the wrong order in edit, I'm getting 2015 or 2016 posts coming up on the first page. I contacted the blog team by email last week and haven't heard back, so put a ticket in yesterday where they replied they would send it to the relevant team.

Hey, Simona. Now I understand whats is happen.
The blog is saving every time, many times. And it hinders the work.
Could have more time between saves. It is not good, really.
Hi, Simona. At the first day, was really hard to write letters and words. I need to expect a lot each character. But now it is very better.
I have upgraded just now. It is terrible! Impossible to work. Very desappointed.

It’s not as though I have an old laptop. Mine is a late 2017 MacBook Pro.
Your new post was quicker than mine Robert. I videoed just over 3 minutes to load. Same for editing a post.
Sounds like a showstopper. A few hundred posts limit

Are you doing it from the Wix Business Manager? If so, yes 100%!
