Hi,
Over the last couple of months I've seen one or two other reports of issues that sound like what's being reported here, enough to suggest that it's a real problem but so far also without the kind of information that would make it straight forward to troubleshoot. I'd urge anyone who run into this type of issue to file bug reports with as much information as they can think of. Data loss issues are of course the worst, so we'd love to be able to diagnose this as soon as possible.

Well, as I was browsing, I realized that a ton of changes were missing. Was I dreaming? Luckily, I had saved the document as PDF, which contained all these changes. So I know for a fact that the Pages doc contained them at some point (last Friday for sure.) I have used Spotlight to find any potential duplicate. Nothing. I checked Time Machine. Nothing. The changes were missing. How the heck did that happen? I'm still puzzled.

Nowhere to be found.

Usually I opt to save what's in the editor, thinking that it must be the correct version. Well now I know otherwise. I hit "revert", and the block of code magically reappeared on my screen.
