I created my commentary for lessons to use during bible study. At the end of my work session, I log off having saved all my comments. When I returned the next morning to restart SwordSearcher my commentary had disappeared. This is several hour's worth of work and has happened several times now, forcing me to start from the beginning each time. Can anyone help me find my lost data please?
 
When you edit a commentary entry in SwordSearcher it immediately saves the changes in your Documents\SwordSearcher User Modules folder. If your work is mysteriously disappearing between logged in sessions on your computer, something external is removing the file. This could be poorly designed anti-virus or it could be a file syncing system issue if your documents folder is being managed by something like OneDrive.

As far as finding the commentary module that has gone missing, if your anti-virus is causing this, then you need to figure out where it is moving the file.

Another thing you can look for is after opening SwordSearcher, go to the Help menu and see if there is a "module error log" item there. If so, it will contain information that could be helpful.

Finally, you can see and change where SwordSearcher stores your user-created commentary by going to File, Preferences, Module File Locations. Some people who have had weird issues like what you report have had success by creating a new folder not part of the User\Documents structure and storing their modules in it.
 
I just saw your email where you describe the problem differently, stating that the commentary tab disappeared. If it's just that the tab is not there, you need to add it to your selected tabs by going to the Tabs menu and choosing "Select which tabs to show."
 
You could do a basic search for the name of your commentary to see if it's stored someplace in your computer that you don't have linked to SwordSearcher. If you find it, check the file date, then if you save it again and it disappears, you can look the file up again and check the date to see if the commentary was actually saved.
