Recover an unconfirmed future rule save

Retry the same rule request to recover its result before creating another.

Updated 2026-11-11

If a future rule save cannot be confirmed, the editor offers Retry same rule request. The original request may already have reached the server, so the recovery uses that same request rather than starting an unrelated duplicate.

  1. Keep the rule preview open and read the uncertainty message.
  2. Choose Retry same rule request when offered.
  3. Check for Rule saved or the existing-rule result before leaving the review.

Do not change the intended request mid-recovery

The editor preserves the original conditions while the result is uncertain. This lets the retry recover the saved outcome for the rule you actually approved.

If you reopen the editor and it reports a previous request still needing confirmation, follow that recovery path first. Creating a new rule elsewhere before checking the original result can make the outcome harder to understand. Once confirmation is recovered, use Manage accounting rules to inspect the saved rule if needed. A different message about the source, saved category, or access changing requires a new preview instead. Read that distinction carefully: an uncertain response needs result recovery, while changed evidence needs a fresh decision about the current conditions.
