Problem/Motivation

As a content editor, I want to feel safer when editing the content of a text field with CKEditor5 and thus I need the Autosave feature to be enabled by default.

Steps to reproduce

See example attached as GIF

  • Write a long text in a text field
  • Scroll down to re-read yourself
  • Accidentally click on a toolbar link
  • Click on previous page in your browser
  • Pouf... Content is gone!

Proposed resolution

Add and enable the autosave plugin by default:

https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/api/autosave.html

Remaining tasks

TBD

    Thanks for proposing this! I'd love to have this obviously 🤩

    How do you propose it stores data it auto-saved? As revisions? If so, how do we ensure the revision history stays sane? And how do we ensure that the other fields for the entity are also auto-saved?

    👆Those are the very tricky challenges that explain why this has not yet been implemented years ago. See #3029488-12: Implement Autosave → , #153313: ckeditor input is lost when using the browser's back button → and related issues.

    I'll keep this issue open for now, but if you really want to get this moving forward, you (or somebody else) would need to work through those challenges and propose ways forward to overcome the technical and usability challenges that were discussed in those issues 🧙
