Accidentally saved a template over an unpublished draft

Question

Dear Atlassian Team, dear community Experts

I have accidentally saved a template over an unpublished draft.

Even if the popup asking for the ok to go ahead appeared, in a quick decisionmaking second I clicked yes and the data filled in the initial page dissapeared/was overwritten..... only the title remained....

Is there a  way to retrieve this draft from any cached server log?

Would appreciate an update asap.

My best!

Thanks Tobi,

appreciate you answering!

Had really hoped they have some kind of cache somewhere....however probably their solution doesn't have such a requirement implemented.

Indeed, it's best to work on external Docs first...I had to learn it the hard way., one day's worth of work gone.....

All my best,

Uh @Horea Pop ,

I think you won't be able to retrieve that info/content. :/

We had a similar scenario a year or so ago and Atlassian has informed us that this isn't possible as there isn't a page history before the initial draft was published.

You can try to reach out to Atlassian Support if maybe they could retrieve this, but I wouldn't be that optimistic 👀

A suggestion for the future would maybe be to use Live docs instead classic draft/publish page(s). 🤔

Cheers (and good luck),
Tobi
