# What to do when changes will not save

If a page or record will not save, preserve your work before trying to fix the problem.

#### Keep a copy

Copy unsaved text into a secure document or take an appropriate screenshot. Store customer information only in a location your business approves.

Avoid refreshing, closing the tab, navigating away or signing out until you have kept a copy. Do not assume the service has saved a draft automatically.

#### Check the message on screen

Look for:

- Required fields that have not been completed.
- An invalid value, file type or upload size.
- A notice that your session has expired.
- A permissions error or a warning about another user's changes.

Record the exact wording before taking further action. Correct clearly identified field errors, then try saving once.

#### Confirm whether anything saved

If safe, open the record in a separate tab to check its stored content without disturbing the original page. You may find that the save completed even though the page did not update.

If a colleague is editing the same record, coordinate before trying again. Avoid overwriting their changes.

For payments, messages and orders, check their status before repeating the action.

#### Ask for help

Contact Infinity3 with the page or record reference, the time of the attempt and any error message. Explain whether all changes failed or only part of the content is missing.

Recovery depends on what the service actually stored. Support may be unable to recover content that was never saved.
