I finished editing a certain wiki article, but I didn't realize hitting save changes would not allow me to access the text anymore, so I didn't copy/save the work I have just spent the past half hour on. If it's rejected or simply lost somehow I really want a backup.
So can I look at the article I submitted even though it hasn't been approved yet?
Can I look at my submitted article without it being approved?
"Unfortunately no, but I keep wishing you could, every time I hit accept I keep wanting a backup as well.I made a back up for all my other articles, and was planning to for this one. But I didn't realize hitting save changes would bring up an un-exitable window with the only options taking you away from the page.

"Aska said:Agreed, I felt I put enough work into it for it to be approved though. Just hope noone else beat me to it, and or did a better job than me."Tovan51 said:It'll probably be a feature later on, but for now they are still learning with us, so I guess we'll just have to wait."Unfortunately no, but I keep wishing you could, every time I hit accept I keep wanting a backup as well.I made a back up for all my other articles, and was planning to for this one.

"Like others have said, there is currently no way to look at previous submissisons until they are live.I know, so have I. I just didn't know clicking on "Save Changes" would not let me go back to the document, at all.
What I have done is made a new folder on my PC called 'GiantBomb', and whenever I write something big, copy & paste it into a Word document, save it to that folder and wah-la!"
