Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Autosave recovery | Choose autosave recovery when a background save did not complete or cannot prove that the latest value is safe. | The recovery surface appears close to the affected form, section, editor, or submit action and remains until the risk is resolved. | Confluence supports autosaved recovery, recently worked on discovery, resume editing, and shared-draft warnings. |
| Draft state | Choose draft state when a recoverable unpublished version exists separately from a published, active, or previously saved version. | Opening a draft from a list lands in draft edit mode and preserves the unpublished values. | Confluence supports draft and unpublished-change labels, recovery through Recently worked on, resume editing, publish, revert, delete draft, and shared-draft warnings. |
