Summary

Microsoft is changing the default save location for Word documents on Windows, automatically saving new documents to OneDrive or the user's preferred cloud storage instead of local storage. This change builds on existing AutoSave and AutoRecover features introduced years ago, shifting the default behavior to cloud-first saving for all new document creations.
