A draft is saved while you write. Device-local recovery protects the browser you are using; signed-in members may also see a newer private account draft. If two copies differ, the composer tells you and lets you restore or discard deliberately. A successfully published post clears its matching draft only after publication is confirmed, so a failed request does not erase your writing.
