 * Hello! I’m wondering what the differences are when a draft is saved by these 
   methods:
    - Auto save
    - Typing CTRL+S (on a PC)
    - Clicking the “Save Draft” button
 * Does CTRL+S do the same thing as an autosave — a soft save of sorts — while “
   Save Draft” does more of a hard save, actually creating a revision?
 * Thanks for your input.
 * Michael
