# Where is my edit after I close the tab?

Sign in to the same account and open Edits to find your submitted run and its latest status. Check that existing run before starting another edit. An unsubmitted draft and a submitted cloud job have different recovery expectations.

[The Shorty team](https://shortyedit.com/about#editorial-team) · Updated 15 September 2026

## Find the existing run first

- Sign in to the account used to submit the edit.
- Open Edits and locate the corresponding run.
- Read its status. Open a completed result or address the message if it needs input.
- If the issue persists, send support the run context and error message.

## Choose the next step from its status

| State | Next step |
| --- | --- |
| Still processing | Revisit the saved run rather than submitting a duplicate. |
| Needs input or failed | Read the issue and use the available recovery action. |
| Finished, but playback fails | Reopen the result and try playback or download again. |
| No run is visible | Check the account and whether the edit was submitted. |

## What should I send to support?

Open Help from the footer and sign in to contact support; email support is included with every account. Include the project or run context, message shown, and what you were doing. Do not send a password, login code, or private download token.

## Keep the ideas coming

### Open your edits

Explore this editing workflow in Shorty.

### Recover a download

Open the completed result in Edits and use its download action to save the MP4. If playback or downloading fails, reopen the existing result and try again before starting another render. Review the saved file before publishing.

### Check credit expectations

Use the current pricing page, account balance, and displayed estimate to evaluate the work you submit. Include review and additional revisions when comparing the total cost of a finished video.

## Questions, answered.

### Does closing the browser cancel a submitted edit?

Submitted edits are durable cloud jobs. Reopen Edits in the same account to check the actual status.

### Should I submit again after a disconnect?

Check the saved run first. A new submission can create another job and consume additional credits.

## Your next video starts here.

Bring the footage. Tell us the idea. Shape the edit.
