Hi,
On January 2, I edited a document that was shared in Confluence. The last time the document was edited before that was December 20. We all went on holiday after that, and when I came back to check on the document, I was only able to see the edits that were made on December 20, with no traces of any edits being made on January 2. There were no drafts or unsaved changes on my account either. My colleague was also looking at the document at the same time as me on January 2, so I know I'm looking at the correct document that should have had the changes. Any idea what happened here?
Thanks,
Jenny
In that case, I think one of the following seems like a possible reason why you don't see the changes:
I understand how tiring it could be when you loose your edits and have no clue how to recover, but unfortunately I think you lost your edits. Since you don't see any error or warning it is difficult to analyze what could have happened.
One last thing you can try is (if you remember the text you have added on Jan 2nd) - search for the text and see if your edits were saved in a different page or space accidentally.
Good Luck!

That is unfortunate to hear that my edits seem to be permanently gone, and also unfortunate that I don't know what I can do to prevent it from happening again. To answer your question, you are correct in assuming I was editing the actual content of the document, and there should have been a full page of edits that were not saved. Thank you for your time.

Hi @Jenny Lee,
Confluence always autosaves (every few seconds if not longer) the edits you make to a page, be it a brand new page or an existing one before you hit Publish and lock your edits. If you know for sure you haven't saved the document and accidentally closed the tab, you should be able to:
OR if you saved the document, you can navigate to Page History by clicking the Ellipsis (...) to the top right of the page.
It is strange that you are not able to recover this document from your account. And I am sure you must have tried various options. But, can you please try again with one of the options I mentioned or please refer to this page.
Hope you will be able to recover the page!
Thanks

Hi @Sireesha Dugginapeddi [Appfire],
Those were the solutions I found doing my own search, and the work I did on the document does not show up in any of those places. It does not show up in Page History, or Recently worked on, or Drafts. It doesn't show any work I had done on January 2, even though I know I was working on the document and my colleague could confirm that she saw the document change as I was editing it.
