How can I suppress annoying "Workbook last saved" message? This question was answered before but under an older version of Excel and I can't find the "Edit Links" to get to the "Startup Prompts" on the Data tab
Update: I found the Edit Links and Startup Prompts but the Don't display the alert option was already checked.

Hi there! That message often appears when your workbook has links to other files. In newer versions, go to the Data tab and look for Edit Links under Queries & Connections. If it’s there, select it, then choose Startup Prompt and set it to “Don’t display the alert and don’t update automatic links.” If you don’t see Edit Links, your workbook likely has no active links.
