So my suggestions are:
1. Add a link from the Inventory or the skills screen (that is available in BATTLESCAPE) to the Agent Diary (that is accessible from the GEOSCOPE -> BASE -> AGENTS).
The usecase for the above is when playing X-COM Files or another mod that has Commendations giving skill upgrades. It is to check, for example, which weapon is close to getting "Master of the {0}" commendation and similar other commendations.
2. The Ironman Save And Abandon is pretty useful if you don't want to juggle a few saves and use one main save. I know that Autosaves pretty much do the same, but they are easy to overwrite.
A separate "SAVE AND ABANDON" button in the Options menu or in the "ABANDON" submenu (between Yes and No) will be fine. I think the second would be better since there is empty space there already.
