Hello, i’ve been working in a Draft file for the past few days. I kept the browser tab open the whole time since supposedly Figma auto-saves. However, when I was done with my work I went out of my project to view something in the Figma Community page. When I returned to my files page I noticed the thumbnail for the Draft file I was just working on was blank. Then when I clicked on the file, to my horror, everything was blank inside there too as if I had done no work. Even when I go through the version history everything is blank.


Please tell me my work is floating around somewhere and can be restored. I wouldn’t even know where to begin if I had to redo it.

Please Help!!

Hey @Julia_Coyle, so sorry to hear this happened!


Have you tried checking the file’s version history yet?


If you’re able to see a previous save checkpoint version with your work, you can restore it to the previous version.


Hi! Thank you for responding to my post. I was able to get in contact with support and they fixed the issue. 🙂
