##About
This small script adds a save button to the editor bar that allows you to instantly save the contents of the editor as a draft. Although this happens automatically every minute or so, now you can force it to save the contents whenever you want.
...and now you can also clear the saved draft with the touch of a button too!

});
###Platform
