Drafts wiped after starting Local Server test in studio

Ah, originally I wasn’t able to find that error message in the logs. This makes more sense. If the metadata file was corrupted during the crash, the Drafts would not be loaded when the Place opens.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy fix to this issue. One of our largest efforts is to keep Studio stable and prevent crashes. Although rare, crashes can create corrupt states.

In the future, we aim to have a more resilient branching / merging workflow that relies on cloud-based storage.

Apologies again for your lost work. Some developers choose to use the Rojo plugin which makes it possible to use Git as version control for scripts. While not officially supported, this might help.
