Composer Autosave UX Failure

OpenAI Developer Community May 26, 2026

Hi @protoolsqueen, losing a long draft like that is incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re using ChatGPT as a real workspace for brainstorming or architecture thinking. A few people have reported similar issues around mode/model switching wiping the composer unexpectedly. The current behavior definitely feels risky for long-form work. Your suggestions around autosave, draft recovery, version history, and safer mode switching all make sense. I’ll make sure this gets captured as product feedback because this isn’t ideal for power users at all. -Mark G.
