Please refer to SAP Note 2217626 - Automatic save: Disable this feature for IC business roles for more details. Note: Since data from one document of a session was being pasted on a similar document of a different session when the user have multiple sessions opened in an IC business role, it was finally decided to restrict this feature solely for non IC business roles. It is possible to de-activate this feature as well. Refer to SAP Note 2104051- Provide ways to turn off AutoSave feature for more details. This feature was introduced via SAP Note 2046890 - Automatic Save. When navigating away from the page or when clicking the save or the cancel button, the local storage would get cleared. With the development of this feature, the text entered in the Text Areas and the input fields will be maintained in front-end local storage as long as the form is in an overview page. In case the browser crashes while entering data in a given form, when the user navigate back to the same form, a dialog box will be displayed to the user to confirm whether he wants to restore data. The final Save would still be needed to commit the changes to the real object. It was then decided to have something like "Drafts" for all objects (BP, 1Order, Marketing, Segmentation) with an automatic save.

When you reopen a MS Word document, which was crashed before, you get a message if the temporary version or the original version should be opened. So the first idea was to have something like in Microsoft Word where your changes are not lost after a crash. But in the same time if the object is not complete and passes all validations it should not be saved in the backend. They hoped that an explicit save is not needed. End users were complaining that when the browser crashes while filling a form, all entered data got lost.
