Sharepoint Features Disappearing
Hi AMJ_Devon,
This sounds incredibly frustrating! I haven't experienced this problem myself, but a couple of things that may help are:
(1) have you checked the version history of the page? It may be that there are lots of versions being created and you can get back to a version that you were happy with?
(2) you say you are the only person currently with access to the site, so if you are 'saving draft' at the moment (which created a minor version) then you could try 'publishing' your changes when you make them (which creates a major verison) and that may help stick your changes? Sorry, 'stick' is not a very technical term.
Oh, and what browser are you using? I tend to use Microsoft Edge for SharePoint but it's been playing up the last few days (our News items come and go, our Yammer webparts aren't loading) yet when I switch to Chrome everything works. So that's another thing to try maybe.
This link has info on points 1 and 2, apols if it's too basic: https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/management-and-lifecycle-of-a-sharepoint-modern-page-3410a04c-3ca4-4a4c-b867-33ab5c8bdcf3

Thank you both for your feedback, I really am beginning to go mad with this going wrong.
I am using Microsoft Edge because that is the only thing installed on my work computer. I am not sure if I would be allowed to request Chrome or Firefox but I might take a look.
I've just gone back to my site to see if I can take a look at the things you've pointed out. I couldn't find a version history so I suspect I'm not looking in the right place. However when I went to edit the webpart there were four boxes there telling me to install an embed code! Firstly I only asked for 2 in 2 columns & also where were the ones that I put in? Also after deleting two of the embed boxes it deleted the whole webpart and then I got an error message when trying to save.
I will check out the article that you linked to and see if I can use it on another browser but if you have any more tips you can give it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Amber
