I want to discard changes that I had locally in the editor and were never published. I expected to do it closing the browser window, but these were "recovered" after reloading the page. There is a message saying that the changes were recovered, but I don't see an option in the user interface to discard them.

I even tried to log-out. The changes are always there. Seems a very obvious UX issue to me.

I believe that if you click the "Read" tab at the top of the page, it will discard your changes. I know it can be difficult to find a method that works for this.

Maybe the message that tells that the changes were recovered could include a link (to the "Read" tab?) to discard the changes
