Drupal Pop Up Confirmation on Node Edit or Add Pages

If you want to protect users from losing work when creating or editing content in Drupal, the Node Edit Protection module is a simple and effective solution. It adds a small JavaScript warning that appears whenever a user tries to leave a node edit or add page without saving their changes.

This helps prevent common mistakes such as clicking the browser’s back button, closing a tab by accident, or navigating away before submitting a form. When the module detects that a user is working on a node, it displays a confirmation message that alerts them that their unsaved work will be lost if they continue.

It is a very useful module, although it took some digging to find. By sharing it here, I hope others who run into the same issue can discover it more easily. With only a few hundred sites using it today, this tool deserves much more visibility.
