We received this feedback from a DEV user on Twitter:

"@thepracticaldev @forem any chance you could add autosave or add a onbeforeunload warning when working on a post? I just previewed a draft post, accidentally clicked a link in the preview, and lost about 40/50minutes worth of writing and editing 😩😠😭" — @philw_

I think this is a troubling issue with preview mode, and this user's suggestion is spot-on in order to prevent similar losses of drafted content.
