Confluence 2.5.6 : Working with Drafts Faq
This page last changed on Oct 03, 2007 by smaddox.
Drafts are a feature of Confluence 2.1. This page covers some of the common questions you may have while using drafts. Read Working with Drafts Overview for more information.
A draft is an autosaved version of the page which is created by Confluence when you have made changes to a page but have failed to save it. By default, Confluence saves a draft of your page once every thirty seconds. A site administrator can configure how often drafts are saved from the Administration Console. Your drafts are listed under the 'Drafts' Tab when you go to your Profile.
Confluence will save a draft of the page even if you haven't successfully added it yet. There are two ways to resume editing the page: 1. Go to the 'Drafts' tab of your 'Profile'. A draft of the page will be listed with an option to 'Resume Editing'.
2. When you next click 'Add Page' in that space, Confluence will ask you if you want to resume editing the page that wasn't saved.
When this happens, Confluence will display a message informing you that you are editing an outdated page. If there are no conflicts between the two versions, Confluence will give you the option to 'Merge and Resume editing'.
No. Whenever you click on any of the page tabs, Confluence will automatically save a draft. When you click on the 'Edit' tab again, Confluence will let you know that a version of the page you are editing was unsaved and give you the option to resume editing.
A site administrator can configure a different time setting for how often drafts are to be saved from the Administration Console > General Configuration. RELATED TOPICSWorking with Drafts Overview Take me back to Confluence 2.5.4 to 2.5.8 Documentation ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
