      It would be a good improvement to save the state of incomplete creation forms so that a user can navigate to another page (by mistake or on purpose), and come back to the edit form as it was before navigating.

      • Use the browser's LocalStorage to save and load the state. Loading the state should be done using an ExpressJS and Redux middleware.
      • We should be able to save the state for each separate entity type (one for Work, one for Author, etc…).
      • Upon successfully saving the form, the saved state for that entity type should be emptied.
      • Add a red "Clear" button to be able to empty the saved state. I suggest adding an eraser icon  and placing the button at the bottom next to 'submit' in the creation forms
