This seems like a good idea and I think this issue should be moved into the newly introduced discussion tab. @raclim

We do already have 'Autosave' in the Settings modal and I think we should already be informing users if they're closing out a page with unsaved changes, but I could be wrong on that one. I agree and think we could see if others also face these types of saving issues and how they currently handle it, or what some other workarounds could be!

We're supposed to have that alert but we don't right now and that's the problem.

I should do this because I'm the only one who understands it 😆.

Not sure if you want to reactivate the issue or open a new one?

The resolution to this issue involves

If the changes aren't saved and the page is refreshed, a confirmation message should appear, alerting the user that their modifications have not been saved and will be lost upon refresh.

For instance, a message similar to "Your changes have not been saved and will be lost" can be displayed in such cases.
