Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes I accidentally delete some text inside a note while editing it. If it wasn't intentional, the content is lost forever.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if after editing a note, a dialog could ask to apply or discard the changes. Ideally the option to ask for confirmation could be added in the settings, if some people is annoyed by a dialog for every edit.
Describe alternatives you've considered
If the dialog is not accettable, another option would be to have a "back" button to undo in a ctrl+z style, but that would be harder to implement, I think.

Research direction
Start by locating the Android note-editing flow and the settings screens that control editor behavior. Review how edits are currently applied or discarded, then define the confirmation behavior and its optional setting; done means the requested apply/discard workflow is implemented without losing edits unexpectedly.
