Hey Geoff ...I actually write/save my posts in Word first, then copy them in here when ready to post. Works well for me cuz my Word docs ‘auto-save’ every few minutes into my OneDrive so if anything does happen I lose little to no data.
But I’d still like a ‘save drafts’ function in the Hub for the very reason you mention...computer crash, Hub website crash (has happened), etc. So +1 on that too!
I use one note to draft and copy when it’s done. I agree that having draft and preview option would be great!
I will add a +1 to this feature but typically like Shane I do my posts in notepad then paste them in just in case. 
Same, I usually write on Evernote/Word first.
A save draft function would be nice. I’ve been using OneNote to draft longer posts, and copying them over.
Hello @Geoff Burke, I like this idea, and it has occurred to me several times to request it. However, when this feature is enabled for us, it may result in some of us having numerous drafts without completing them. I observe this frequently from other writers on my blog. Therefore, if this is to be implemented, there should be mechanisms in place to ensure that a user cannot create a new post until they have published the draft post first.

… so, what happens during the copy process? This is what he means. I've lost a post like this once and had to endure the hassle of reposting it.

This might hinder someone if they are working on a longer article, but want to reply to another post while writing their article. But I agree that something would need to be done to limit abandoned drafts. Perhaps an age limit on untouched drafts set to a couple weeks or a month?

I find the word formatting sometimes messes things up could be my clumsy word skills.

The only thing with notepad are coordinating screenshots, can code blocks. I remember somewhere I used some system like our hub which had the save feature hence my question. Of course it could be that gainsight has this function but is asking for $$$$ :)
Hi there!
I use my Wordpress and the draft option from it.
After writing the article, I copy / paste from wordpress and works fine!
Also, I keep a copy of my entries in my personal Knowledge base and the community hub.
The feature would be great, but as some of you mentioned, with limitations, not having hundreds of drafts saved, just a few.
cheers.
