Google Docs reverted my document to an earlier version, erasing the latest chapter edits despite its autosave feature. I eventually recovered an older draft, but the experience was profoundly frustrating.
ugh, i had a similar mess- up with docs autosave. i lost edits too and end up retyping stuff which is super annoying. sometimes a manual backup is all u got, but it’s such a hassle. hope they sort these bugs soon.
I experienced a similar issue when working on a lengthy project. It seems that relying solely on autosave isn’t enough at times, especially when network interruptions or unexpected system behavior occur. I found that saving backups or exporting critical sections locally helped mitigate the problem. It is worthwhile to keep an eye on the version history and manually confirm that changes have been registered after making significant edits. The reliability of auto-saving features should be improved to prevent such frustrating scenarios, particularly in essential writing sessions.
