  Hi there.

  Can you let me know the title of the post you’re attempting to recover? You can view all of your saved posts from the following page:
  https://wordpress.com/posts

  Along the top, you can filter for all posts that are Published, Drafts, Scheduled, and in the Trash.

  If you can’t see your draft there and believe it to be lost, the new editor automatically saves content to your browser’s local storage and you may be able to retrieve it from there. The code snippet below can be used in your browser’s Developer Console to reveal all saved posts:

  _.chain(localStorage).keys().filter(function(k){return /^myBlogsPostEditor/.test(k);}).map(function(k){var s=JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(k));return [s.title,s.tinymce,s['edit-content']].filter(Boolean).join(' | ');}).value();

  If you’re unfamiliar with the Developer Console, here are some instructions for using it on Chrome:
  https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console#opening-the-console

  I’ve also created a screencast below to demonstrate how the steps you need to take for this:

  I know this might sound like a scary tech tool, but I’ll be happy to help and answer any questions. If you go through those steps, please and still can’t find your saved draft then please do let me know so that I can report this back to our development team and troubleshoot further with you.
