The ability to "delete the unpublished draft" / "revert to last published version" from within the editor has been released to all customers. Please view the documentation for further details.
Of note, this change does not provide the ability to discard just your changes when collaborating with others. This feature request is being tracked separately on CONFCLOUD-45721.
Phil Oye, senior product manager
Confluence used to have an option to discard changes, or cancel the page save. This was used in the case of too many unwanted changes to be reverted. Screenshot below is showing Close as that option.
However, current Cloud releases is missing this option
Steps to Replicate
- On Confluence, click on create page
- Notice that there is no option to cancel
Expected Result
Ability to cancel the page creation
Actual Result
No cancel option nor discard option.
Workaround
Save it as draft and discard the draft.
To access draft,
Click on user profile and select draft, or use the following link replacing your instance url.
<instanceurl.atlassian.net>/wiki/users/viewmydrafts.action
Note
This is discovered on version 1000.1147.0 and 1000.1161.0

Would you please update the documentation link? It's now "Page Not Found"...
I still want the preview button restored 
. Why are you hiding it?
Hi bob1734599024, Sorry for the extra click, but the keyboard shortcut Shift+Command+E (Mac) or Shift+Control+E (Windows) will bring up preview.
Thanks for providing this fix 
.
Why do I now need an extra click and position to do a simple preview? 
. This is a very common thing to do.

We removed the ability to discard changes, and I'd like to explain the rationale. We've had numerous issues with customers inadvertently discarding other people's work. Discarding is a destructive operation and we've erred on the site of preserving work instead. Workaround: Publish your unwanted changes without notifying, then go to page history and rollback to the previous version. We are actively looking to bring this feature back. We do not as yet have a timeline for implementation but will update this issue once we do. — Phil, Senior Product Manager, Confluence {panel} |
