<p>Copy + Pasting @<a href="http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/1/jeff-atwood">JeffAtwood'</a>s <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/81974/133693">answer</a>: </p> <blockquote> <p>edit: we <em>DO</em> provide feedback on migrations to people answering via topbar notification</p> <p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/l9PMO.png"></p> <p>The unsubmitted answer would still be saved as a draft, since we auto-save drafts for questions and answers every 45 seconds.</p> <p>However, I'm not 100% sure the draft would <em>be visible</em> when you came back to that answer. Normally it would be, but since we suppress the answer editing area on migrated / closed / otherwise functionally unanswerable questions.. might not be in that case.</p> </blockquote>
