I'm looking for a way to turn OFF autosave in iPython notebook. I've seen references via Google/Stack Overflow searches on how to turn ON autosave but I want the opposite (to turn OFF autosave). It would be preferential if this was something that could be set permanently rather than at the top of each notebook.

This will disable autosave once you're in IPython Notebook in the browser: %autosave 0.

Update: There is now a UI feature in JupyterLab: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/3734
