# Picking a template wiped work already typed in the editor

**What you are seeing**

Picking a template wiped work already typed in the editor.

---

## Why it happens

Choosing a template replaces both the title and the entire body.

---

## What to do

Pick the template first, before writing. If you lose content, close the modal without saving. The stored document is untouched until you press Save.
