# Feedback button deletes essay content Clicking "Get feedback" on a document deletes parts of the essay. Once it happens to a student, it keeps happening on that document until they create a new one. ## Reproduction 1. As a student, write in a document. 2. Click "Get feedback". 3. Observe parts of the essay text disappearing from the editor. Hard to reproduce on demand — appears non-deterministic across students, but deterministic per-document once it starts. ## Expected Get feedback runs without modifying the editor's content. Edits are non-destructive. ## Actual Recent edits in the document get deleted when feedback is requested. The deletions are not full reverts — partial content is removed. ## Impact Data loss on student work. Reported on Apr 7 (11 students in one morning) and again Apr 8 (still hitting it after some changes were deployed). Students hitting this are blocked on the core feedback flow until they start over in a new document. ## Affected versions First reported 2026-04-07. Apr 8 follow-up: "Looks like a few guys are still hitting feedback and some recent changes are deleting" — earlier fix attempt didn't fully land. ## Suspected cause Editor state vs. feedback request state are racing. Likely the feedback API call is round-tripping a stale snapshot of the document and writing it back, clobbering local edits made after the snapshot was taken. Investigate the document save/sync path around the feedback request. ## Workaround Create a new document and paste the content over. Workaround is itself painful and risks losing work.
