Progress lost

[Guest SemperVictrices]

A good bit of progress was lost for some reason I was logged out and it didn’t save anything.

Is there any way of recovering lost progress?

Hi,

If you were inputting a story directly in the Rich Text Editor, then I’m sorry. It doesn’t have a save feature, so if you were logged out or closed that window, the content would be lost. The same applies to the upload page itself, where you would enter the title, summary, tags, et cetera. That page does not save progress, either.

For myself, I write in a word processing program—either Microsoft Word or GoogleDocs—and then I copy and paste the chapter into the RTE, make any formatting tweaks needed, and publish. This way, I still retain a back-up of the story on my hard drive or accessible through Google in the event of any issues. LibreOffice is a good freeware office suite as well, with compatibility with Microsoft, to avoid the expense of Microsoft.
