I know there is an undo function, but sometimes I make a number of changes to a page only to find out it messed up the same page on another device. For this reason, and also because I simply don’t like autosave as a function, I’d like to know how to turn it off. I’ve looked in the documentation and posts here, and I can’t find anything. Anyone?
You can turn off Autosave globally, if that’s what you want. Under System Settings, go to Desktop & Dock. Scroll down to Windows & Apps and choose ‘Ask to keep changes when closing documents’. Autosave is in my view an evil function that has destroyed countless person-years of work by overwriting them without permission and would have been better named Autodestruct.

(Thought I sent this earlier but apparently didn’t)… You can use the Revert to previous version found under File. Usually I duplicate the project file and if I thoroughly mess things up I delete the new file and go back to the duplicate.

Long time ago (1017) I asked that question and was told:
To disable document versions for just Sparkle you need to use the Terminal, and enter this:
defaults write eu.riverdesign.sparkle ApplePersistence -bool no
And as the name changed in the meantime, I changed the line into
defaults write eu.riverdesign.sitely ApplePersistence -bool no
to undo just use the same line with a yes at the end
I have no idea if that still works on newer macos versions or with ARM
