I am working on a Figma Slides presentation, worked on at all yesterday it auto saved absolutely fine.

I've worked on it today from nine till 2:30pm. I had to restart my computer and after restarting the latest auto save is at 9:30am this morning so I've lost 5 hours worth of work. Is there anyway to recover this? 

The version history has a gap from 9:30 till after a restarted my computer, noting else in drafts.

Hi ​@john.law

 

Sorry to hear that you lost 5 hours of work on Figma Slides after restarting your computer. I understand you're looking for a way to recover this work.

 

Since you've already checked version history and drafts, I've opened a support ticket(#1814967) on your behalf to investigate other possible recovery options.

Please share the following information when you receive the ticket:

  • Your file URL and grant view access to support-share@figma.com (this won’t impact your billing)
  • Details about the content you lost (e.g., number of slides affected, specific content you were working on, etc.)

In the meantime, could you please check:

  • Whether you had a reliable network connection during the 9:30am-2:30pm period
  • If you noticed any "unsaved changes" notifications at the bottom of your screen

If you were working offline during any part of this period, this article might be helpful: What can I do offline in Figma?

 

Thanks!
