Add a "Save draft and continue editing" button (user saveable drafts)

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Something that would improve usability is to add keep editing mode when adding/updating a page.

      I.e. [Add and Keep Editing Page] button.

      When working on the web, I always have the fear of having my browser crashing. Using such a feature (in combination with a publish/draft feature) might be interesting. I could save at anytime, without fearing losing all my work.

      workaround: If you hit Preview a draft is saved automatically.

            This is not fixed, just lost a ticket comment after hitting "add link" and forgetting to submit !!!!

            This says it was fixed, but I can't figure it.  How do I publish a page and continue to edit it without a bunch of redirects and clicking?

            Our users are also distrustful of an automatic save and having a "safe draft" map would be helpful.

            while the automatic draft save indeed is a nice feature, a lot of technical staff are used to hitting "ctrl/cmd+S" for saving every few seconds. So while I don't need a "save draft" button, it'd be great to map the shortcut to draft saving

            The real issue here is that when you intentionally save it LEAVES editing mode. This is extremely undesirable.

            Saving the draft is not same as saving the document. Two different features for two different needs.

            You can even set the save draft time to a value you want (eg. 15 seconds). I remember this feature was introduced with 5.6 and has improved since then:

            • Unsaved new pages are also saved as drafts in the user profile drafts page
            • When you start editing, you are asked what you want to do, if a draft of the page exists
            • Deleted pages/attachments are moved to a space paper bin and can be removed there by a space admin
