  Please help! I published a Blog post and then have since tried to read it through the app on my phone.
  Unfortunately the last time I used my app it was an old Draft where I’d only written about half of it.

  Do you have an archive of previous saved versions please? Or the published version which seems to have disappeared?

  Thank you!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, @muddymike,

  Yes, revisions should be there.

  Here are instructions on how to find them:

  Let me know how this works for you.

  Thank you!

  I found the old versions & managed to get back the version I want. I am hesitant to open the app now in case it happens again.

  Great, that you were able to recover the post!

  I haven’t ventured into the app yet, but I’m tagging this for staff (with the modlook tag) just to see if they can offer advice to keep it from happening again. It might be a simple check before posting (?)

  Hi –

  Which app are you using? Desktop or mobile? Which version?

  Were you working from multiple devices when this happened? Better, yet, can you walk me through the exact steps to recreate the problem. Thank you!
