I left the page and my reply on a post disappeared I think its gone forever but I don't want to believe that because I spent over an hour writing it. If anyone knows anything I can do that would be very helpful!
Hi @BellaLevine,
The Canvas "rich text editor" (the place where you type responses) should auto-save your content for a while, so if you do back to the same place the content should come back. Discussions are a big unique though in that you could be replying back to different people and technically getting a different textbox, so maybe the saving doesn't work quite as well in that area. Unfortunately, if you don't see a prompt to re-load your content, you're unlikely to be able to recover it at this point.

Hi there, @BellaLevine ...
I am sorry to read that you lost your text that you had been typing. I totally agree with @chriscas on this one. I wanted to provide you with a Guide that also describes how the auto-save feature should work within the RCE (Rich Content Editor).
How do I add and modify text in the Rich Content Editor as a student?
Scroll about three-quarters of the way down the page, and you'll find a section on "View Auto-Saved Content" and "Load Auto-Saved Content".
I would also add that if you plan on typing a lot of text as part of a discussion topic reply, you might want to consider typing that "offline" using something like Microsoft Word and then pasting that text into your response in your course. That way, you will still have a copy of it if the text gets lost...like you described.
Hopefully this extra bit of info will also be of help to you. Good luck!

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
