I keep losing all the data entered in proposals before completion. Why is there not a save button so we can leave and resume at a later time and not lose all the copy already entered?

Currently, there is no 'Save Draft' button, but you can use Word or any other writing software if you are continuously losing your written stuff. For example, you can write your proposal by using the default notepad software of your computer, then you can copy and paste it in the proposal field.

I think you need to explain how you are doing this. Are you just typing directly into the proposal cover letter area and then clicking on Submit? Are you trying to add attachments (that has messed me up sometimes when I don't drag them in properly)?
My advice, use something like Word to create the proposal. Get it the way you like, then copy/paste it into the upwork proposal cover letter. If there are questions as well, do the same thing. I always save the Word document as I might use some of the words again for another proposal.

If you are creating the proposal in an external editor, and then have to start the submission over, what are you losing other than a few minutes time?
Also, I now drag the attachments over first so I know they got the "sweet spot" and attached. Then I cut/paste the cover letter. Even if something fails, I have wasted very little time.
From the Upwork point of view, managing a "save" feature is complicated and takes more resources. Also, there is the possibility that freelancers will "save" a lot and never come back to finish.
