Describe the feature you'd like

I'm looking for a solution to abandon a new page without clicking more than once, such as a "cancel" button. Using browser back has the unexpected consequence of a "New Page" being created even if it is empty.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Reduced clicks

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

No response

Thanks for the request @profiteroles1, but I'm going to close this off as a duplicate of #1147 as I feel that covers the fundamental request of this thread. Also relevant is recent thread #5691.
