Is there a way to prompt the user to Save before exiting?

In other words if someone goes into the Table View, and changes information; but then hits back or “Cancel”, before hitting “Save”; a prompt comes up asking the user “Changes Have been made, do you want to Save?”

Or something along those lines?

Seems like errors can be created if people forget to hit the save button.

Thanks in Advance

• Require that user be explicit, i.e. press Cancel / Save (instead of back-arrow)
• Warn user that updates would be lost and request confirmation

You do get the Confirm message “Discard changes?” and “Any edits will be lost”.

Display the hamburger menu bars in the spot where the arrow would be, enabling easier navigation to other menus. If I am mistaken and it is already possible to do what…
