Tip

There is no auto-save capability for Confluence Comments and, as mentioned above, you cannot Save and subsequently Edit your comments. If you lose your network connection before saving, your work will not be retrievable. If your comments are going to be extensive, we advise users to draft them in a text editor on your local computer, saving periodically. Once you are satisfied with the final version, copy the text and paste it to the Add Comments box, make any final formatting adjustments, and Save.
