Saturday, October 5, 2019
Edit
We've been seeing occasional reports of problems, vaguely described inward Blogger Help Forum: Get Help amongst an Issue, referencing posts beingness overwritten past times other posts.
My personal policy was precisely to propose people to avoid leaving posts, inward Draft status, for long periods of time.
Publish sooner, together with edit later you lot publish. Unfortunately, to a greater extent than or less spider web log owners volition pass days - together with weeks - working on novel posts, earlier publishing.
Generally, zilch untoward happens - together with I larn called names, for instructing people to non create something, that helps them bask publishing their blog. Today, nosotros saw a clue equally to what may last happening - together with possibly, ane precaution that nosotros powerfulness take.
This scenario is nonetheless annoying - but it's maybe avoidable.
Has this e'er happened, to you?
I've had instances where I opened upwards 2 posts, simultaneously (or one, straight off later the other), thus I tin lav deed content betwixt the two. Occasionally, I may click on 2 unlike "Edit" links inward Posts, inward rapidfire trend - together with opened upwards 2 postal service editor tabs inward the browser. Click - Click - together with commencement work.
Looking at the 2 postal service editor windows, I uncovering that I direct hold 2 copies of the same content. Looking at the browser address window, I run across 2 unlike URLs. Obviously, I managed to opened upwards the same post, twice.
If it happens, no problem. Recovery is simple.
To avoid stupidly editing the same postal service twice (which re-create should I save?), the solution is simple. Save neither.
Close both tabs, immediately, without saving either - together with commencement over. Open the 2 posts, for editing, in ane lawsuit again - but last to a greater extent than careful to non mis click the mouse - or what e'er I did to elbow grease the potential disaster.
So far, no problem. I direct hold non lost a post, because of overwriting. Maybe, I've been lucky - or did I precisely repel an elephant attack?
The longer you lot take, when editing, the greater adventure that you lot volition run across this happen. So think, when editing posts, for long periods of time.
Draft posts may non larn out you lot thus nonchalant.
What happens, though, if you lot opened upwards 2 Draft posts, together with the contents of ane opened upwards nether the edit URL of the other? Can you lot chop-chop together with safely closed both tabs, without saving either?
When you lot edit Draft posts, your posts are discipline to malfeasance past times AutoSave. What happens, if you lot opened upwards 2 posts - together with AutoSave saves the content of ane post, into the other?
And at that topographic point is ane possible scenario, how ane Draft postal service tin lav overwrite the other.
I opened upwards 2 previously published posts, simultaneously - a lot. I opened upwards a Draft postal service - together with ane or 2 published posts, simultaneously - occasionally. I direct hold never opened two Draft posts, simultaneously - that I tin lav recall.
OK, nosotros don't know the elbow grease of the base of operations problem.
Admittedly, nosotros don't know why this happens, that ane postal service would opened upwards nether the URL of the other - though I direct hold a gut experience for what is going on.
Just don't allow the work destroy your post.
If the known work is existent - together with if Blogger has non yet managed to cook the work - precisely don't direct hold your operate snuff it a casualty of the problem.
If you lot are going to hold multiple Draft posts, over long periods of fourth dimension - together with you lot e'er direct hold occasion to edit 2 posts, simultaneously, opened upwards each one, deliberately. Open one, verify the contents, together with the postal service editor URL - thus furnish to the Posts menu, opened upwards the second, together with verify the contents together with the postal service editor URL.
Don't opened upwards multiple postal service edits, inward rapidfire mode. You won't last editing, chop-chop - opened upwards carefully, together with edit carefully.
Call me names, if you lot wish. You may regret, to a greater extent than or less time.
Maybe, you lot volition in ane lawsuit again telephone phone me a ninny. Maybe not. But, if you lot e'er scout a long developed Draft postal service destroyed, you lot may modify your mind.
Or, you lot tin lav last to a greater extent than careful, starting now. The lost work, that you lot may save, may last your own.
