Save message drafts

[gonxas]

I've been typing a message to one of my clients for about 10 minutes. Suddenly the page reloads and I lost everything I've typed. It would be great to have some kind of draft saving message like gmail for unsent emails to prevent this thing to happen. For now I'll work in a txt and copy paste the message to the page, but that's kind of annoying. Please do something no this subject. Thanks.

I agree with you 100% I was writing tasks to one of my contractors and by an accident closed Upwork window and my notes that took me 15 minutes to write and organize my thoughts it was all gone 😞  It's a simple thing that Upwork should add asap.

Hi Gonzalo, and Raitis, 

Thank you for your suggestion, Gonzalo, and Raitis. I understand how it will be beneficial for users if the messages have a save draft function. I will go ahead and share this feedback with the team for their consideration.

 It's been "shared with with the team for their consideration" for years... Over and Over again.

Funny how the forum autosaves drafts of posts, but somehow the Upwork site seems incapable of implementing the same.

Cannot believe this company has had this feedback for 7.5 years and done nothing with it. I had the same exact issue just now. Lost 10-15 minutes of writing and it's very late in the evening. It's as if this company is begging for someone else to take their lunch money and market leader position.
