You can configure your created form (content/UCM Type) to allow users to save the filled form in draft mode i.e the user can partially fill the form and complete as per thair convenience.
2. Autosave¶
This config of UCM Type allows using Ajax-based autosave of form which will autosave the form data in draft mode when a user changes the value of any of the fields on the form.
