Recovering Lost Project Changes
Last updated May 12, 2024
Introduction: Losing unsaved changes to a project can be a disheartening setback. However, Kapwing provides several ways to help you recover lost changes or access previous versions of your projects. This article will guide you through steps to retrieve and restore your work.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Check Kapwing Project History:
- Navigate to the “Projects” page by clicking on your profile icon or "My Workspace."
- Review the list of recently edited projects to see if your lost work is listed.
- Click on the project's thumbnail to reopen and continue editing.
- Use Autosave:
- Kapwing Studio automatically saves your work periodically.
- Re-open the project in Studio to see if your recent edits were retained.
- Restore a Previous Version:
- If you’ve edited a project multiple times, check the “Revisions” section or "Version History" to revert to an earlier state.
- Click on an older version, and copy elements or revert entirely if necessary.
- Check Your Browser Cache:
- Sometimes, browser cache retains elements of unsaved projects.
- Try reloading the Kapwing Studio page or restarting your browser to retrieve cached information.
- Re-import Media Files:
- If project elements were lost, re-import media files used previously to reconstruct your project.
- Kapwing’s library may still contain images, videos, or audio files you uploaded before the issue.
- Contact Support:
- If these solutions do not work, reach out to Kapwing’s support team for further assistance.
- Provide as much detail as possible about the issue and the project's original state to expedite troubleshooting.
Recovering lost project changes can be stressful, but by following these steps, you increase the chances of retrieving your work.
