Idea: "Save as a Draft" feature when posting a new thread.

Hi, dev team!

I wrote a quite long post the other day about my trip to Helgelandskysten, Norway last year.
I missed a "Save as a draft" function so that I could write the post little by little.
I was quite nervous as well, that I potentially would lose my post caused if my internet went down, I accidentally clicked a button, closed the browser, and so on..

Maybe there is a function for that already, but It should be a button down by the Post and Preview buttons imo.
It would also be nice if the editor auto-saved as a draft regularly, as a peace of mind.

EDIT:
Thanks to Mike Rose for pointing out there actually is a draft function.
I have found it now. BUT – it is very simple...

• You can only save one draft at the time.
• There are no feedback when clicking the Save or Delete buttons.
• There is no "Are you sure?" confirmation when deleting.
• The button is very hidden, and should be placed by the Post and Preview buttons imo.
• Also, if you click back, or out of the editor, there is no "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" confirmation.

Would love to have these issues fixed.

Thanks,
Magnus.

There is a save draft feature on the web interface.
