Add cancel confirmation dialog to edit page

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? 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.

      Atlassian Status as of 10 December 2014

      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.
