The current saving regime is confusing for users. We should implement a system similar to how applications like WorkFlowy handle saving.

- In the editor, at the top of the screen to the right of the exhibit title, there is a small, faded bit of text that toggles back and forth between "saved" and "save now."
- At first, it reads "saved," since no editing actions have taken place.
- As soon as _any_ editing happens - changes to item forms, new vectors, anything at all - the text toggles to "save now," and becomes a link that you can click to save immediately.
- If no action is taken, the exhibit will be autosaved every ~10 seconds.
