What "Not Saved, Retry" Means

The latest change did not reach your account. Keep the page open, copy any unsaved text, and use the retry until it says All changes saved.

"Not saved — retry" means a save to the app's database failed. Keep the page open, copy any unsaved text somewhere safe, and use the retry. Wait for "✓ All changes saved" before you switch pages or reload.

The bottom bar of the Writing Studio, with the saved message, the word count, Save to Your Cloud and Dictate.

What do the save messages mean?

Everything you type saves automatically into this app's own database, tied to your account. The bottom bar along the bottom of the writing area shows:

Auto-saved and Saving…: your change is being saved.
✓ All changes saved: the save is done.
Not saved — retry: a save to our database failed.

If the Writing Studio reports an unsaved change, keep the page or book open and use Retry save. Wait for "All changes saved" before switching or reloading.

What should I do?

Keep the page open.
Copy any unsaved text somewhere safe.
Use the retry ("Not saved — retry" or Retry save).
Wait for "✓ All changes saved" before you switch or reload.

What if it says I have been logged out?

The message reads: "You've been logged out. Sign in again in a new tab — your text stays on this page and saves as soon as you are back." The button is Sign in (new tab).

What if it says the book changed in another session?

This is the message you can see when the same book is open on two devices. Keep the page open, copy any unsaved text, and reload before editing.

Does connecting Google Drive or Dropbox affect this?

No. Everything you type saves to the app's own database whether or not you have connected Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or a folder on your computer. Your own storage only holds an extra backup copy, made in the background and whenever you press Save to Your Cloud. See Is my book safe? How do versions and backups work?

What about the Book Planner Blueprint?

If a completed Blueprint failed to save, use its displayed save-retry control. A Blueprint save retry preserves the completed draft and should not rerun AI. Do not regenerate it.

What if retry keeps failing?

Keep the page open and keep your copied text safe. See How do I contact support?
