The automatic saving function in the Edge insider community didn't work!
Hello GatesLover ,
We're sorry you ran into an issue with posting. Are you slowly building these posts over the course of multiple days? As we have protections to keep people from remaining idle for too long.
We recommend building large posts via OneNote or Word and then posting it within the discussion when it is ready. This will stop you from losing any content.
Dylan_Snodgrass I always feel suck when I edit long article in this forum. Sometimes the system say your identity authentication was incorrect when I want to publish the article, and all my writing disappears. And I could not find where my draft saved everywhere. And sometime have a small bugs, like this：
All the functions was blocked
I just wonder why not figure out a way to solve this problem forever like:
1.Edit our writings all on our Word on Edge https://www.office.com/launch/word?ui=zh-CN&rs=CN&auth=1 And click the publish button to publish in any links on the Internet! Just type in your link you want to publish like a contact of your email and you will publish all the stuff you write and edit on your Word
2. Import all the functions of Word into this community. It's an extension or something. When you edit any text on any text box on Edge, just open up the Word extension and all Word functions will be imported into that edition text box. That extension could be applied to any forum like MS community Twitter or Facebook

Thanks for posting, I am going to reach out to you via PM to discuss the issues around identity authentication as some of what causing this issue is personal to you.
As for the feedback about Microsoft Word, there is no web plugin editor for word which would allow us to embed it into the community. There is one Outlook Web App and I am working to understand more about that and then if we could use it instead of our current opensource editor (TinyMCE).
