Prompt a Draft Save? Draft Save Interval?

[Matt Uebel]

Is there a hotkey or some other method to save a draft of a page while working on it? Otherwise, what is the automatic draft save interval?

There is a way to trigger a draft. Hit Preview. This always saves a draft as long as you have changes.

Also note that there is a bug at the moment with displaying the Draft Saved message. It only shows up on large browsers: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-30746

I've added the "Preview" wordaround to https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1632 too.

Looking at the AJS API I see AJS.Confluence.Editor.Drafts.save(); You might be able to hook into that and code your own button.

Hi,

don't know why but the command mentioned above and also this version...

AJS.Confluence.Editor.Drafts.save({ forceSave : true }); // c.f. editor_plugin_src.js

...does not work, I always get "Error saving draft". Any ideas?

Not sure about a hotkey, but you can configure the interval:

Thanks. In addition, there is no way to elect to save a draft. Here is the feature request for that ability: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1632

This is totally not ideal, but you could set your interval low, and then just close the browser tab without hitting save or cancel to "save a draft".
