The Draft module is an excellent mod that should be a staple for anyone who creates long documents and doesn't want to waste time copying and pasting HTML code back and forth to notepad or continually saving something as an unpublished document.
Excellent maintainer support rounds out this overall great mod.
Despite the name, this module's most useful feature, IMHO, is its Autosave function. It protects you from accidental loss of work in progress, such as blog posts, site pages you are editing, and so on. It's great because, once it's working, it seems to be 100% reliable.
Autosave saves data in the background without reloading the page, interrupting you, or stopping you typing.
I had some problems getting the module to work with FCKeditor - eventually solved by the developer. Details are in the module's issues queue.
Although configuration is actually extremely simple, the current documentation is a bit lacking. For example, be aware that, at the moment, you need to enable some of the module's functions in two different places (content type page and user's page). Once you've dealt with setting up, though, it's hassle-free, and you can almost forget about it.
Despite apparently not having a large number of users, this is actually an excellent, professional module, and most important: you can rely on it to protect you and your users from browser crashes, accidental window closing, power failures, and so on.
