Missing Session Recaps and Notes

I recently started a campaign and have had 3 sessions so far, having written a session recap for both and taken a lot of notes for each using the Notebook at the top of the screen. When I went to review the 2nd session prior to starting tonight's because it had been an almost 8 hour session over a week ago, I found that both session recaps and all the notes I had taken on that campaign had seemingly vanished. I checked another world of mine in case they had somehow moved due to me opening that world to send to a friend, but they were not there either.   The notes and recaps for my other campaigns were not affected, only the campaign I am running for my Nightfall group.

Steps to Reproduce

I'm not entirely sure what caused it, but I had the session recap open and searched a different world in View mode, not Edit, in order to send a page to a friend of mine. This was done in another window. When I came back to the recap the next day, I hit the Articles button and it automatically switched the world from the one I was working on (Elaris) to the starfinder world I had sent him (Elaris: Sea of Stars).

Hey there - can you please elaborate what do you mean by "recaps" (this is not a feature of world anvil) do you mean session report? I am asking for clarify so I can understand the issue.   In general also to put some context there is no automated way to delete notes or a session report. Session reports are articles in your world while the notebook is not linked ot a world, it is on the "account" level which means it can be used across worlds / campaigns / characters.

Yes, my apologies. The Session Reports are what I was referring to. I checked after submitting this and found that the sessions themselves seem to have been deleted from the campaign, so there is only Session 3 in it now, no Session 1 or 2.

World Anvil cannot in any way delete things - like I have literally never wrote the code for automatic deletions of any kind, so if it was deleted it was done by a physical person. ;(   Do other people have access to your worlds? Also looking at your account you have a ... significant number of worlds. Is there a chance you have misplaced the reports under another worlds? It can happen if you work in multiple tabs and you activate other worlds and then save.

Nobody else has access to this specific world, I checked other worlds with the searching but did not find it. I appreciate the help anyway, though!   Unsure if this would help, but I found the links to the two articles for the session reports in my history, but they lead to 404 errors now. If they are recoverable I greatly appreciate it, but I also understand that storing deleted files from worlds would cost a lot and is probably not feasible.

I am really sorry - I cannot find them - not even on the recently deleted (in the queue for deletion)
