I would like to changes to a document to be preserved when navigating between tabs or at least receive a warning

When editing a document, you sometimes have to look up data in another tab, for example to copy-paste an ObjectID of another document. However, when you return to the tab you were editing in, all your changes are lost and you have to start over. There is no warning that navigating to another tab will cause your unsaved changes to be discarded. Ideally, my changes would be retained and preserved so that I can continue working without fear of losing my work. Current workaround is to copy the document data into an editor, make the changes there, and then paste them into Compass again, which is far from ideal.
