Hi, just adding on to this post. I understand this is a known issue and doesn't seem like there is a solution as it is quite intermittent. Now whenever my team collaborates on a G Slide, I just hope that unsaved changes message doesn't show up. I initially thought it is fine since the only downside is we can't duplicate the file.
But I just learned something today. Over time, G slide will purge the other versions, loading only the last saved copy. So for example, my team worked on a rather large deck of slides in March this year for a presentation. Just opened that same deck today and it is the incomplete version. Fortunately I download ed PDF versions of the deck as a form of backup at certain intervals during the time we were working on it.
Hope this bug can be resolved someday!
