Description

Often I think that I would like to save a edit - meaning, that I have it kept in the system but don't want it to be published yet. You know this difference from Wordpress, where "saving" is different from "publishing". Especially in the Content Translator I'd like to see such a feature. By the way, I sometime experienced problems when I edited in the editor window but the internet connection fell away; saving the text just for safety would be great.

Is this just a dupe of T57370: [Epic] VisualEditor: Implement some form of auto-save to help with browser crash recovery and accidental tab closing effectively? (We're working on that one, slowly.)

In the end, that task was rescoped to be less generic and more about crash recovery, so this task makes sense as the more generic version.

This is a huge task with far-reaching implications, so realistically it's not going to happen for a very long time.
