Describe the feature you'd like

I'd like a simple confirmation window where users are prompted to confirm that they want to discard the current working version of a draft.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

I just discarded a draft on accident before I was able to save the page. It's certainly my fault for being in the same dropdown for discarding as I could have just Ctrl + S'd but I think it's still a good idea to have a confirmation before just completely discarding a draft without any way of getting it back.

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

As a confirmation window, probably not. Preventing accidental draft discarding could just be resolved by the user actually saving the page every now and again.

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?

3 months to 1 year
