  Re-enter the Text: If you have lost the text due to not saving, you may need to re-enter it and ensure that you save it properly this time.
  
  
  Review User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict the ability to save text. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to save changes in the relevant transaction.
