Editing Chapter ---> Click Preview Without First Clicking Update ---> All Progress Lost

[Yorda]

Problem
When editing a chapter on the scribblehub site, if a person clicks preview without first clicking update, then everything they had just written is lost. It's like forgetting to save before you close the document without warning you first. I am not aware of any way to recover the lost information. And any changes you made do not show up in the preview. Going back one page does not cause the information I added to reload. The information is lost.

Suggestion
Warn the user somehow that changes were not updated. Maybe just auto-update when the person clicks preview without updating so that information is not lost.

Bumping this both for appearance sake and cause this is Hella useful

So, I found another thread about people having the same trouble as me.

Auto-save Feature Request

It seems like the word of advice is, "Do not write your content directly to scribblehub ever. Work and save somewhere else that is safer. Add content to SH later."
