Data lost
Hello sir/ma'am,
I have been writing some important notes for past two months. Today, just
after I reached the next page in the course of writing I pressed backspace
button once to allign the document. Moment later I realized I had lost
previous all pages. Since the mechanism is autosave hitting CTRL+Z also
could not help.
please help in this regard. The document was very important

It just seems hard to believe you experience 2 things one after the other:
- Backspace doesnt errase whole pages
- Auto-save is optional you can disable it
- The recovery feature would have restore your data.

If it was not for auto-save feature existing in the place I could have
easily retrieved my lost data by hitting undo.

Thank you for the response.
Now that the damage has been done It does not make any sense if I choose to
create backup of this file.
Anything else to retrieve the data. I am cimpletely devastated.

Not sure how backspace will delete a page. That is not how is built. I
think the recovery process will attempt to get your data back even if its
in auto-save.
Also there is a backup folder that if you have it activate it, you could go
there to restore your lost file.

the behavior you are reporting is not common. Due to this I don't know
what really happened and fear that I cannot help here in a concrete manner.
I hope you have a backup of your file(s), so that you can continue your
work with a minimum of steps you have to redo.
For more possible help you should also ask on the users mailing list
[1]. There are many people with more ideas. For more information about
our mailing lists please have a look here [2].
