Save long form text before closing a browser tab

A long message typed into a form can be difficult to recover if the page reloads or a session ends.

1. Before refreshing or closing, check whether the page reports a saved draft or successful submission. Do not assume a spinning indicator means success.
2. If permitted, copy your own text into an approved document or note and add the intended destination and current date.
3. Check the beginning and end of the copy, then save it and reopen it to confirm the complete text is there.
4. When the form works again, review the draft before pasting and check whether the earlier submission arrived before sending another.

Do not copy passwords or restricted information into an unapproved app. A saved draft preserves your text, but does not prove the original form was submitted.
