How autosave and draft recovery work

Two layers of saving

• Cloud autosave: the editor continuously saves your speech to your account. This is the copy your Library, teleprompter, and other devices read.
• Local draft copy: this browser also keeps a crash-recovery copy while you type, so a killed tab or a refresh doesn't cost you the last moments before a cloud save.

Honest limit: the local copy lives in this browser on this device. Private/incognito windows and cleared site data can remove it; the cloud copy is the durable one.

After a crash or lost connection

1. 1Reopen the same speech in the editor, in the same browser if you can.
2. 2If the local copy is newer than the cloud copy, the editor restores the newer words.
3. 3Check the last paragraph you remember writing before continuing.

If saving fails while you write

• The editor tells you when it can't reach the cloud; it never fails silently. Your typing keeps going into the local copy.
• Check your connection, then keep the tab open until the save indicator recovers. Closing the browser entirely before a successful cloud save risks the unsynced tail of your work.
• If a save error names a reference code, include it if you report the problem; it lets us find the exact failure.
