Save & Edit provides a very simple, yet welcome function to node editing pages.
It adds a button titled "Save & Edit" on selected node types which redirects
back to the edit form rather than returning to the node or admin page.
As simple as the module is, it provides a very much needed feature to core page
editing. When creating long, complex nodes where you want to save the node
regularly to avoid losing changes/edits, it takes an additional click to get
back to the edit form to continue; this module keeps you on the edit page.
Features
- Creates a "Save & Edit" button on node pages.
- Allows you to choose what node types to use the feature on.
- Allows you to customize the text for "Save & Edit", "Save & Publish", AND the
default Backdrop node "Save" button to whatever you like. - Allows you to choose to use the Auto-Unpublish feature, which will mark nodes
as unpublished when you use the Save & Edit button. This can either be turned
off, used on ALL nodes/clicks of the Save & Edit button, or can also be only
used on NEW nodes. - For ANY unpublished nodes, a new "Publish" button will allow you to quickly
Save & Publish a node that was previously marked unpublished. This feature will
be hidden on published nodes, and new nodes with the "Published" option checked
by default. - Allows to hide each of the default "Save", "Preview" and "Delete" buttons
