In version Grav v2.0.17, Admin v2.0.19 after 53 minutes after page creation all entered text of the page is cleared and "Save" button is inactive (grayed out). As far as I remember, in version 1.7, after a period of inactivity, I was redirected to the login page, and I clicked "back" and copy text to clipboard and paste it to the same article after the login. Now in version Grav 2 all content is completely vanished during editing. Please, make improvement in future version not to reload page after 53 minutes. [2 months ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/clearing-of-the-page-content-while-editing-in-admin-plugin-in-the-grav-2-0-t9394#post-41825 "Permalink") it should not be reloading and losing your edits, please report this issue here: [2 months ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/clearing-of-the-page-content-while-editing-in-admin-plugin-in-the-grav-2-0-t9394#post-41826 "Permalink") Andy, I found that in Grav 2.0 there must be file in the folder /user/config , the file named **"admin-next.yaml**" with user rights 600. On my production site there is no file **"admin-next.yaml**", because the last steps of migration was not performed accordingly. My unsaved edits is lost due to absence of this file: ./grav/user/config/admin-next.yaml or if file exist, the value of the parameter is wrong: settings: ``` autoSaveEnabled: false ``` The cause of the problem: parameter "autoSaveEnabled:" - must be "true"!!! If file admin-next.yaml non-existent or autoSaveEnabled: false, after 50 minutes article text is cleared. I tested this on local web site. Solution is to copy file "admin-next.yaml" to its place ./grav/user/config/ and change text in it: settings: ``` autoSaveEnabled: true ``` Or in Grav 2.0 - left sidebar, click link "Settings" - menu "Site Defaults" - chapter "Editing" - parameter **"Auto save**" (default was: Off) ! Changed this parameter "Auto-Save" to "**On**". Clicked button "**Save site defaults**". Now all text of the article is written to the file as I enter or edit it. Thanks for your answer! last edited 08/11/26 by Vladimir Novak [2 months ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/clearing-of-the-page-content-while-editing-in-admin-plugin-in-the-grav-2-0-t9394#post-41828 "Permalink") Solution Fixed in next version of Admin2: NB. Using setting `autosave` hides the issue behind the lost changes. last edited 08/12/26 by pamtbaau [Log in](https://getgrav.org/login?return=%2Fforum%2Fplugins%2Fclearing-of-the-page-content-while-editing-in-admin-plugin-in-the-grav-2-0-t9394) to reply. ### Suggested topics | Topic | Participants | Replies | Views | Activity | |---|---|---|---|---| | [grav-mcp update\_page sends lang in the body instead of the query string, so non-default languages are never updated](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/grav-mcp-update-page-sends-lang-in-the-body-instead-of-the-query-string-so-non-default-languages-are-never-updated-t9469) [Plugins](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins) · by renedebaaij, 2 days ago | | 0 | 36 | [2 days ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/grav-mcp-update-page-sends-lang-in-the-body-instead-of-the-query-string-so-non-default-languages-are-never-updated-t9469 "by renedebaaij") | | [How to clone a flex object in twig](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/how-to-clone-a-flex-object-in-twig-t9438) [Plugins](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins) · by complanar, 3 weeks ago | | 6 | 389 | [2 weeks ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/how-to-clone-a-flex-object-in-twig-t9438 "by complanar") | | [Integration of GRAV articles into my principal website](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/integration-of-grav-articles-into-my-principal-website-t9440) [Plugins](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins) · by BenLaKnet, 2 weeks ago | | 1 | 206 | [2 weeks ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/integration-of-grav-articles-into-my-principal-website-t9440 "by BenLaKnet") | | [How to restrict access of admin users to certain subpages](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/how-to-restrict-access-of-admin-users-to-certain-subpages-t9416) [Plugins](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins) · by complanar, 1 month ago | | 2 | 480 | [4 weeks ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/how-to-restrict-access-of-admin-users-to-certain-subpages-t9416 "by complanar") | | [Storing Flex-Objects at the page level](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/storing-flex-objects-at-the-page-level-t9388) [Plugins](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins) · by Mathieu Lecouturier, 3 months ago | | 3 | 595 | [2 months ago](https://getgrav.org/forum/plugins/storing-flex-objects-at-the-page-level-t9388 "by Gez") |
