Today I was checking on an illustration within a psd mockup. I initially tried this in the browser version because I wanted to see how easy it was and didn't want to save the file. I do that sometimes to check sizing and intended layout. I never ever want to save the file. I decided I didn't want to deal with the learning curve of trying to figure out where everything is and why changing the color of a layer is creating a completely new layer. So I went to open the same mockup file in photoshop desktop version, when the app offered up the autosaved file from the web version. Curiosity... it's always curiosity. I opened said file and messed around in it. No biggie. When I tried to close the file, I was prompted to save or cancel. There was absolutely no option to not save my changes. I couldn't just close the file. When I eventually used task manager to close the program because there was no getting around it, it still paused the end task function to prompt me yet again to save a file I was trying to simply close. I looked and couldn't find a button or option to simply close the file.

Now, the only difference to this workflow is that it was a psdc (which I've found other issues with; see below in redacted) and photoshop is fully updated. So, is this a new update? Or am I missing something obvious? I'm not so arrogant to believe that missing something isn't an option. I miss things. It happens.

|| Trying to save the file to the computer proved impossible as it would start to create the file then fail completely eventually glitching the preview in the file viewer. I tried 3x. Not sure what was happening, but it may need to be recreated and sent in as a bug. JSYK, I tried saving it to see how a psdc converts to a psd. I would have done this with any file not just this one. I intended on deleting it later. So, when I gave up on testing the conversion, the app wouldn't simply close the file like I wanted it to.||

Are you saying that you tried your image in Photoshop for r Web?

#

if that's the case this is saved on the cloud so if you save, you save on the cloud (it's generally saved automatically though)
If you want to discard your changes, you have to discard them (or go back in the history) The cloud saves conserve versions as well.
That said, you still need to learn a bit whatever software it will be.
Photoshop for the web has an in-built hands-on tutorial

If it's not Photoshop on the web, can you clarify?

If you use other web based saving workflow (Fresco, Adobe Express, I guess a few others too) you'll find that's the same idea. Since saving is done "live" if you want to discard, you just discard. Obviously it's different from the desktop version of Photoshop.
