 * Very good plugin but could you add an option to desactivate for drafts. I add
   very quicky drafts and it’s boring to complete all fields each time.

 * You should currently be able to save a draft for a post or page that has incomplete
   fields. The only things this should prevent is publishing or updating those posts.

 * You are right, it was an update… of a draft. Well, it’s the same problem, no ?

 * Hmmm… I’ll need to dedicate some time for testing this and applying a solution.
   Look for this to be addressed in an update in the coming weeks.
 * Thanks for the catch!

 * Li-An,
 * I’ve looked into this, and unless I’m mistaking, the plugin already allows what
   you’re seeking. If a post is in Draft mode, you will always have the option to“
   Save Draft” (this option is located above the checklist). You can save the draft
   even if all the requirements have not been met. The only thing that is disabled
   is publishing and updating posts.
 * Marking as resolved.
 * Please let me know if I am misunderstanding.

 * Well I met the problem, so my question. I will make some more tests. Thanks for
   quick answer.

 * If you can replicate, it would be helpful for me if you can make a screencast
   or other short video documenting the issue, as I have not been able to replicate
   the issue on my end.
 * Thank you.
