When filling out a form, it would be helpful to have a Save button next to the transition to make it easier for users to save their work and continue. This would be useful in cases where the user is filling out a lot of information or spending a lot of time filling out the form.
An example of how it could look is shown below:
Our plan is to implement the option to save versions of form layout and a way to mark a version as "active" vs "PDF export" vs "saved". User will be able to choose which version is being updated at a given time. However, like with autosave in Word/excel etc, any changes made to the form layout will be automatically saved to the selected version.
