¿Where is my blog draft post?

[Andrés González Aragón]

I just made some progress with a new post for my confluence blog but I left it unpublished, now when I try to get back to it I cannot find it, it´s not even in my recent work.

¿Where is it?

I just had this happen and it looks like blog post drafts ARE saved in cloud now. I found it by going to "Wiki" and looking under "Your Work". Below you can see a screenshot of the draft at the button,  which I am able to edit.

Hi Oscar,

Your email address is associated with a Cloud instance in our system so I assume this happened in Confluence Cloud.

I created a blog post on Confluence Cloud yesterday and did not publish it - it does not appear on my recent work:

I was able to find it by going to my home space and clicking the blog link in the left sidebar:

I look forward to hearing whether your draft can be found there.

Thanks,

Ann

Hi Ann, thanks for the quick reply, you are right about Confluence Cloud.

I followed your steps but Unfortunately my post is not there.

I remember that this wasy a post inside a space rather than personal. ¿does this makes any difference?

Hi Oscar,

Further testing revealed to me that blog posts are not saved as drafts in Confluence Cloud when you click the Close button before publishing, whether in the personal space or another space.

I could not find a bug report or documentation for this behavior so I opened a bug report: Blog drafts are not saved when Close button used before publishing The bug is open to comments and votes from the public so you may use it to communicate with our development team. If you vote or comment you will be added to notifications for the ticket.

I was not able to recover any of my test blog drafts so I think we lost your draft. I really regret that, as I understand blog posts can be a great deal of work.

Regards,

Ann

Hi Ann, that´s correct I coulnd´t find it anywhere. 

But I don´t think it´s all lost, is it? I remembering going back in my browser and still see what it seemed to be my post loaded from server ( not cached ).

Anyhow, thanks for bug report.

Per my research, the back button does serve from the browser cache unless the no-store directive is used in the header on the site: Why you must have ‘no-store’ in your cache-control header

It looks like Confluence stopped using that in 2007: "cache-control: no-store" considered harmful
