Save Draft replaces the default "Save" button on the content creation page and
removes the "Published" checkbox under "Publishing options". Instead it presents
a "Publish" button and a "Save Draft" button for the same functionality with
improved usability. "Publish" will save in published form and "Save as Draft"
will save in unpublished form with a single click.
You also have the option to allow drafts to be saved even if required fields
are not filled in.
Installation
- Install this module using the official
Backdrop CMS instructions
Usage
After enabling the module:
-
By default once you have enabled the module, the "Save Draft" button will

Developers
If your module adds a button to the node form module and you are using the
"Skip required validation" option you can allow your button to also skip
required validation by adding the #skip_required_validation property to your
button. For example, if you are adding a button 'my_button' to the form actions
you would add this property also:
$form['actions']['my_button']['#skip_required_validation'] = TRUE;
