so how to retrieve the saved Copy of the form ? [#927588]

I am certainly missing something here, I edited the node and by mistake closed the window. Now how to get my "saved form" ? I know it is stored in a db table but how to get the autosaved content ? I was expecting it to work like wordpress autosave where all the versions are shown at the bottom, any help ?

if you had captured a saved version of node it should popup a msg at the bottom next time to you go to edit asking if you want to view the saved version and use it instead.

perhaps you were not in the edit form long enough to capture? did you see a similar popup fire at the bottom of your browser while you were editing?

This is what happened -

1. I was editing content
2. By mistake,I hit the back button in browser, which took me to some other page
3. Immediately I opened the edit page again, but it was the same old copy and i didn't got any popup to restore the version which had recent edits before I clicked back in browser!

I have set 30 seconds as saving limit and I had seen the lower pop up couple of times showing the content is saved, am I doing something wrong ?

Same issue here - I've force-crashed my browser, the previous (I've tried both new node and editing existing node) form autosaved multiple times (popped up at bottom), and neither adding a new node or editing the existing node in question pops up available auto-saved versions... I'd love to troubleshoot this, let me know if there's any further information I can provide.

just tested as:

- clean Drupal 6.19 (won't matter)
- install/enable latest AS (6.x-2.7) from AS project page
- enable for type = page
- go to node/add/page and enter a title and start typing some text in the body field, after 10 sec i see popup at bottom (default setting is 10s)
- hit back button (i'm using FF; but shouldnt matter)
- go to node/add/page again..

instantly see popup at bottom with the View, Ingnore options http://screencast.com/t/YubVD42TXqU

if i select View i get what was there when last autosaved: http://screencast.com/t/C5Nnnyt4eG

works for me.
