To use AutoSave safely, you need to bear in mind that it automatically saves all changes to your document, even if you only mean them to be temporary, or if you change your mind and close without saving.
Open a document and cut out some content that you want to copy somewhere else? If you don't choose undo - or use copy instead of cut - the original document is saved without that information. Want to use an existing document as the basis of a new one? You need to get into the habit of saving the document with the new file name before you make any changes, especially if you're stripping out a lot of the document to turn it into a template you can reuse - because all the changes you make before you choose Save As are saved in the original document, so closing without saving is no longer enough to keep your document the way it was when you opened it.
For anyone who's used to documents that save automatically, all of this may be what you expect, but for people who have been using Word for a long time, this fundamentally changes the way Word works - and you have to get used to it. Saving before you have made any changes seems strange, because you haven't made any changes - but if you wait until you make changes, you have to make the effort to undo them.
To do that, you can press Ctrl-Z to undo if you catch yourself before you close the document. If you don't notice for a while, click the Activity icon in the top right of the windows it looks like a little clock or choose File, Version History, View and Restore Previous versions. The task pane will show a list of changes to the document; click to open the version you think is before the changes you didn't want, check it and then save that file.
You may not see all the versions for a document if it's been a while since Word saved changes you hadn't really realised you were making; I had to restore some documents from the copies I'd emailed or backed up. Really, Word is being half smart here; I'd like to see it be really smart. If I edit a document and then choose Save As, Word should ask me if I want to save the changes in the original document too, or if I want to have it revert to the version I opened.
The Office team changed something very fundamental without really explaining to the users what problems it might cause, making a new feature not quite as useful as it ought to be because it doesn't match the way we've learned to work; I've been using Word since and document saving hasn't changed substantially in all that time, so these are long-held habits to change. Developers are in short supply.

The next time Word is started you see the following symptoms. Word will start with the Document Recovery Task Pane listing the available files that Word recovered. Following the name of the file will be a status indicator that shows what was performed to the file during recovery.
The status of Original indicates the Original file based on last manual save. The status of Recovered is the file recovered during recovery process or file saved during a AutoRecover save process. The Document Recovery task pane lets you open the files, view what repairs were made, and compare the recovered versions. You can then save the version you want to use and delete the other versions, or save all the open files to review later.
Word will start. If Word was able to detect a recovered file, Word will start with the document open. You then have the option to save the file back to the original name or to save as a different name. Part of this document may be recoverable.
