I am working in SharePoint online and office 365. This is causing auto-save to save and change the modified date whenever a document is opened by someone with Edit privileges even if nothing is changed. I would like to set SharePoint to open documents in preview mode by default, then if the user wants to edit they can click to edit. Ideally, I would want to control this at the folder level but the site level would probably work.

Next time anyone tries to edit any document in the library – they will be forced to check out a document.
