==================
(Write here your question/remark)

Hi, 
I was working all of yesterday on a LimeSurvey questionnaire. 
However, when I came back to it today, all of the work I had done had vanished (although I obviously saved everything as I went along as you have to). 
Is there anyway of retrieving all of this lost work or is it gone forever and I have start all over again? 

Hoping someone has a magic solution! 
Thanks

This sounds strange. Why would the work vanish? Do others have access to your questionnaire? Did you work on a different version of the questionnaire?

Because if the work isn't there, it isn't there. You can't get it back. You should speak with the person responsible for the installation, maybe they have put a backup in place from before?

All in all, sounds really strange.

Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
