Confluence will save a draft of the page even if you haven't successfully added the page yet.

There are two ways to resume editing the page:

  1. To see your drafts, go to your name at the top of the Confluence screen. Select 'Drafts' from the dropdown menu as shown here.
    A draft of the page will be listed with an option to 'Resume Editing'.

    If you had not yet entered a page title, the draft will be listed without a title.

  2. If you do not resume editing the page as described above: 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. You can choose to resume editing. This will restore the page.

What happens if I am editing the draft of a page that has since been updated?

When this happens, Confluence will display a message informing you that you are editing an outdated page.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'.

If there are any conflicts, Confluence will give you the option to 'View the Conflict' or to 'Discard' your changes.
