>>> [!note] Migrated issue
<!-- Drupal.org comment -->
<!-- Migrated from issue #1702250. -->
Reported by: [webchick](https://www.drupal.org/user/24967)
>>>
<p>Pretty much everyone we've shown the inline editing feature to has noted a couple of things:</p>
<p>a) You need to click "Save" on every field as you are editing it, which makes editing lots of fields at once tedious.<br>
b) The fact that clicking this save button publishes changes instantly freaks people out.</p>
<p>We want to instead move to a model where we are saving inline editing changes to a "draft" revision, while the original revision stays published, and have an explicit "Publish" action that makes the draft revision the new published one.</p>
<p>Work on this feature will happen in the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/issues/edit">Edit module issue queue</a>.</p>
