Auto-Save disable or Undo

It would be nice to disable the auto-save feature or at least have an undo.  The issue is 2 fold.

1. It makes the process of updating much longer. For instance, when updating the settings section in an email. After clicking operational email it saves, then clicking include webpage link it saves, after updating the email address it saves, after updating send name it saves. Thus, making a 5 second task 45+ seconds. 

2. The real issue arises when updating emails, forms etc. Recently our collateral designer created an email. He unknowingly had two windows open to the same email. After completing the email in one window, it saved. Later, he was going through his open windows and came across the second window he had opened to the previously completed email. The blank email then auto saved when he clicked on it. His completed email was over written by the blank email. Since, the email had never been approved all work was lost.

Additionally, when working in campaigns/smart lists and you accidentally change a setting or delete some critera you are out of luck. It's gone and better hope you remember what you need to re-do.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!  This is a big issue with me.  I love the concept of the auto-save but you should have the ability to turn it off if you want.

 We like the undo piece of this, and we are planning on having an audit trail in a future release.

I definitely agree with having an Undo button.  It would come in handy with building out LPs.

If an audit trail is implemented, that would be the end of this problem. However, Auto-save is a good feature to have if you are counting on it. It would be good if one could turn it on and off like Dan B. said. Heather, is there an estimated time for the audit trail to be implemented? Ballpark is ok.

There is a HUGE need for Undo. Please put this on the product roadmap, it's very much needed.

The more people we have working in Marketo, the more "oops" moments we're encountering. Undo + audit trail + versioning (or any combination of those) will be hugely useful for our team.

This is a no-brainer considering changes are auto-saved. Please implement this asap - would be greatly appreciated.
