Once the capsule is deleted by accident, is there any way to recover it. Yes. I am kicking myself.
Pleased to hear that you retrieved it. That's a useful tip for us all to know. I now try to save capsules part way through after having a few occasions when the site has played up and I have lost the contents of the text capsule I have been writing in. I rely on the information being fresh in my mind to rewrite it, but this gives another option.
Yes. It's a great solution. I've been writing a lot recently. I just "spaced" and deleted the wrong capsule. All is fine, now.
Glad you recovered your work. Have you considered writing your hub before formatting it on the site? I write all of my hubs in Word and then go to HP to format and publish my hubs. If I lose a capsule, I just redo it using my Word document.
OldRoses, I do that with new articles. I am doing rewrites and edits, so it is a bit different. This article was so old I couldn't find the original in Word.
I'm thinking about doing that myself, Old Roses. I usually don't make the mistake Kenna did, but if I decide to ever delete my account, I'll already have a copy of my works. I'm more apt to polish my work, too, if I write the article first.
It's good to have a back of system in place. I am appreciative that paradigmsearch was so quick to reply and help me.

I am confused by Amazon capsule use. The first time I used it, it was deleted and I found out it was because I didn't actually use the item myself. Okay, makes sense.A couple of days ago I added a capsule to my article because it related to the article and I use the item. I even explained how easy...

Hello! I am new to the HubPages community and thought I would introduce myself. I joined HubPages in the hope of venturing out on my own as a writer. I've been writing for other people long enough and thought if I don't do my own thing eventually, it'll only get harder as time passes. I am very...

How long have you been a writer on HubPages?Today is my 5 year anniversary on Hubpages so I was just wondering how long other people have been writing here and what value Hubpages has brought to your life?

My daily earnings have dropped drastically -- WHY? Is it because HP has pulled ads on my hubs due to the "unfeatured" hubs, which are mostly poems? Are poems not worthy of being featured and getting daily earnings? And WHY does HP decide what should or should not be featured?...

I believe HubPages would greatly benefit from implementing a stronger, more thorough training period for new members. I have been writing for the internet for over seven years now. I know that may not seem long to some who have been writing longer than that. Yet in that time, I have written for...
