Description
NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
When editing a page, if a user accidentally clicks cancel, the draft is immediately discarded without method of recovery. Since cancelling destroys data permanently, a confirmation dialogue box should pop-up to provide users with an opportunity to avoid losing their change.
UPDATE 12 Jan 2015: We have resolved this issue, though using a slightly different approach:
In Edit Mode: "Cancel" has been renamed to "Close" and will NOT discard your work. Drafts are auto-saved and recoverable.
In Preview Mode: "Cancel"/"Close" has been disabled! Click "Edit" to go back to the editor.
In Comment Editor: "Cancel" will show a confirmation dialog to warn that comments will be lost.
This will be available in the upcoming Confluence release (5.7) - within a couple of months and will also be available to Cloud (previously OnDemand) customers within a few weeks. Stay tuned.
Thank you for your suggestions and feedback on this issue. We acknowledge this issue is causing pain & inconvenience. We are currently looking into this and will update this issue when we've make progress on it.
