Help! Retrieving Saved Drafts

Post by gypsumgirl »

How do I retrieve a supposedly saved draft on the submission page? I just spent 3 hours writing an article. Clicked on "save draft." Then, went away from my computer for a short while. Yes, I navigated away from CC. Now I want to continue work and cannot retrieve my draft. Did I just waste 3 hours for nothing and have to start over? One would think that "save draft" means it can be retrieved again before submission. Please help!

Hmm, I'm not familiar with this process because I only ever write on Word and then transfer it over when I am ready, but are you sure that the draft isn't in your content page? If so, that is unfortunate :( Before you saved, did you have all the necessary fields filled in, such as title, price, category, etc? Because it does not allow me to save until I fill in that information (another reason why I don't write drafts on CC!) It tells me:

Uh Oh, This Submission is Not Complete
Check the Title
Please Select A Category
Please Make Sure the Usage Price is Greater Than $7.00 (Seven) Why?
Please Enter Document Content of at least 25 characters.
Please add a Short Summary

So if you didn't have everything filled out, perhaps it didn't save but you walked away thinking it had? If that's the case then I feel for ya!!
