Recover unsaved map work
Recovery copies help with interrupted editing on an unlocked map. Save map is still the way to keep a named editable map in your account.
Open Recovery copies
While signed in, open the account menu above Save, Open and New and choose the small Recovery copies… link at the bottom. On a small screen open your account from the compact controls. Check the map name, type, source and date in the list.
Device and account copies
A device copy belongs to this browser’s local storage. An account copy is available after it has synced while connected. Their times can differ if the connection was interrupted. Clearing browser data or using another browser can remove access to a device copy. Do not assume a missing account copy means nothing was saved locally.
Recover a copy, then inspect it
Choose the appropriate recovery entry and read any prompt about your current work. Recover it into the editor and check the colouring, labels and other items. Save the recovered work under a useful name when satisfied. Do not remove a recovery copy until you have kept what you need.
Check whose workspace you are in
For team work, use the correct signed-in account and team. A recovery copy does not grant access to another person’s maps or let two people override one another’s editing. If the tool says another colleague is editing, wait or ask them to finish.
Recovery is not version history or password reset
Recovery helps with interrupted edits. Save copy makes a separate editable saved map; Rename changes a saved name; Undo changes the open map. Forgotten passwords use Set or reset my password. If the copy you need is absent, contact GBMaps with the map name and approximate editing time without deleting other copies.
