I have lost my article

[Syed M Hussain]

I have been writing an article for the last day. I had it complete and was adding the project demo, when the page got refreshed or something happened, which then wiped my article and replaced it with the default. The draft copy now shows the default. Has my article been lost or s there a version somewhere I cant see.

My apologies for not spotting this earlier. You say "you'd been writing your article for the last day". Does that mean you worked totally inside the editor? It should have been saving drafts as you went, but if you clicked the "Delete Article and Start over" it will, well, delete the article. We are making a change so that the delete is not a hard delete, just a soft one. We deliberately made it a hard-delete for those who abandoned an article without hitting Publish, and soft deletes if you've actually saved the article as a work-in-progress, but we'll revise this.
