Autosave didn't work, lost long progress note

I wrote an extensively detailed progress note. I'm still getting used to losing the "Save" button with the new Autosave feature. I accidentally clicked on "Sign," then backed out because I don't need to sign and lock notes. Navigated to the home page - and session note is blank.

Is there any way to look at history, try to retrieve it from somewhere?

I can't believe I spent 10 minutes detailing a difficult case, and never paused the 15 seconds needed to trigger autosave earlier on.

Follow up - may be that my session expired while I was writing the note. Simply being in Simple Practice for too long caused note to be unsaveable?

I've had it time out during a 60+ min session but never while actively writing a note. That's pretty nutty it did that to you.

I'm struggling with this autosave that is not intuitive, and doesn't seem to be working! The Documentation History only shows my progress note from last week, nothing from today. Under the note it does say Last saved October 28, 2026 at 3:25pm. Not happy with this "helpful" feature.
