@paninee how's this for the FAQ section on the help and contact page:

How do drafts work?

All new entries are auto-saved as soon as any data is entered in the form. If you start an entry, but don't want to publish it right away, there's no need to click save. You can enter as much data as you want in the form, and close the browser window. Once you create a draft, your drafts will be accessible on your profile page under the "drafts" tab, as well as on the Quick Submit page. You can login on any device and access your drafts. Using the "preview" button in the entry form, you can see what an entry will look like once it is published. If you wait to publish your entry until it is more complete, the description and narrative text will be translated into all supported languages. (We only run translation once, the first time an entry is published - see: "How does translation work?")

Also add:

Why is my work "awaiting approval"?

To prevent spam entries being published, we require users to request to publish or make edits to entries on Participedia, and these requests are approved (or blocked) by website administrators. This can take up to a few days, as it is done manually by our team. Once approved, subsequent changes will publish immediately.
