I Accidentally Deleted All the Words in a Draft
It was just another typical day. I was working on my next article for Medium, about to add the finishing touch and submit it to a publication, when a terrible accident happened.
I was typing something and accidentally pressed a button, which caused all my words, title, subtitle, and cover image to disappear instantly. I was left with an empty draft space with only a YouTube video link. I couldn't believe what had happened. I opened Medium on another tab and searched for my draft, but it was nowhere to be found. I kept typing Ctrl+Z to undo the recent actions, but I had no luck. I was extremely upset.
This can happen to anyone. Don't panic; you can retrieve your work just like I did. Even if you exited the window, don’t worry.
Ensure you are still in your draft where everything was deleted. It should be the top one on your draft list section.
Click on the ellipsis (three horizontal dots) on the top left corner of your screen next to the green Publish button.
