Medium Writers: How To Recover Your Accidentally “Wiped Out” Drafts

I kept losing everything I’d written!

Maybe it’s just me, but I kept losing my drafts to my evil keyboard.

I’ve been hitting some nasty combination of keyboard characters, or I’ve been hexed, or I most likely just have abysmal luck.

I can write half or a whole draft, hit that magic keyboard combo, and lose EVERYTHING!

It’s frustrating as hell.

My memory sucks. I often didn’t know if I could write that piece again.

What good does Medium’s autosave feature do if it “saves” the deletion of your draft?

Medium Help can be Helpful!

So I started poking around Medium Help and found a way to recover my drafts a while ago, and realized, hey, maybe someone else is having bad luck too.

So here’s your ticket to Medium article salvation!

In edit mode, go up to the three magic dots by the Publish button and click on See revision history.

You’ll see a mass of revisions of your article that Medium’s editor saved for you!

IF only you knew it existed before!

Sometimes, you have to pick a few revisions, but you can usually select the last or second to the last revision. It often contains most or all of your content.

And of course, like me, you’ll get frustrated when you try to type in your wonderfully restored article but can’t.
You have to go to the top of the article and let Medium know you want “that” revision restored.

Then off you go, typing away!

Extra Tip: What is that junk listed below your article NOW!

In Natalie Frank, Ph.D. ‘s article, Medium, Can You Please Post Actual Related Stories or At Least List the Authors on the Unrelated Clickbait Stories You List on My Articles, I found out something I was only vaguely aware of.

Below my article, there are now links listed to OTHER PEOPLE’s STORIES, and it looks like they are more of MY articles..but they ARE NOT.

Instead, the story links below mine can be literally any old, nasty thing.
Or something extraordinary, like a Christmas gift.
More than likely, it will be a bunch of smelly spoiled Easter eggs.

So I’ve added an FYI/disclaimer at the end of this article to give you an idea of what you can do; or not!

What Medium or writing tips do you have to save our collective sanity?

FYI: The articles listed below my incredible work of art are probably NOT mine…here’s how to find MY articles!

The suggested articles were put there by a machine, not a human, like myself; if they’re great articles, woo-hoo! If they are icky, they are definitely not mine. Instead, click on My Medium List link to get to my other stories (organized by topic, too)!
