Two users were editing a page.
The first user worked over several hours, developing an analysis, researching sources, and writing this into the page - but not saving intermediate copies.
The second user wrote two quick changes and saved them while the other user was editing.
Then the first user went to save the page of edits hours of work. I don't know exactly what happened, but apparently the merge did not go smoothly and the first user clicked something and their page of hours of work appear to be lost.
Presumably Confluence saved versions of the Draft of the first user. Perhaps they are available under the "Drafts" item when the first user clicks on their icon. But if they are not right there - is there a way to see the intermediate automatically generated drafts, even to have an administrator grab a temp file of them on the directory of the server?
I am not looking for the history of successfully saved edits, but rather the history and content of the automatically created intermediate Drafts.
Ideally there is an easy way to recover the work rather than have the first user repeat those many hours of work.
Any other advice?
Thank you.
(I should probably put in a suggestion for a feature in Atlassian for multiple editors on the same page to be shown simultaneously, like in Google Docs, so this bulk merge problem is not a future problem.)
