Bring back the Discard in Original button for F12 Save As so autosave doesn't overwrite original document
The latest Insider versions of Word in Office 365 have removed the 'Discard in original' button from the dialog that appears when you use F12 to Save As telling you that your changes have been saved in the original document even though you didn't save them yourself. Please bring back the option to NOT have changes made between opening a document and saving it with a new file name - because I do this dozens of times a week and autosave ends up corrupting my original files if I can't remember that F12 no longer works the way it has for 30 years.

"Save as" was simple and straight forward way to handle new and existing documents, don't do this to us, bring back the option to to chose "Save as" in options instead of force this new office "Save a copy" development which for me is a big step backwards!
"If simple is working good, continue using simple!

How about don't auto save in a way that can damage the original document EVER!
