Your idea to improve Wysija...

Ability to access saved drafts of newsletters

I duplicated a previous newsletter to provide a template for a new newsletter. Having worked for about two hours on the newsletter, I was about to send it.

I went to Step 3, then clicked on the Back button to go back to Stage 2 and ended up with the original text with all my additions lost.

If one had an ability to access saved drafts, I could easily go back to a previous version and use it. Instead I have no alternative but to have to re-create all the text again.

It is just not acceptable for this to happen on your plugin. Instead of being able to send out the newsletter and finish work now, I now have to spend at least another hour in front of my computer, re-creating my newsletter.

You can imagine that I am not a happy person at the moment. 'Awesome' isn't the word I would use to describe your plugin :)

        Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yes, that's utterly frustrating, agreed.

        In fact, you'll be even more hurt by this: your newsletter was actually saved, but you used the browser's back button instead of the link to go back that's located near the "Send" button on step 3.

        You're not the first to go through this pain and we'll be working on a way to avoid that.

        I think this should be made a priority. I don't think other people should have to risk losing their content and hours of their time.

        There should also be a button so that one can save drafts when one wants to or to be able to set an autosave every few minutes.
