# Recover a manual reply with an uncertain outcome
## What should I do when Mr. AI cannot confirm my manual reply?

Keep the current conversation open and use Check send outcome when it is offered. Mr. AI keeps the original sending identity to reconcile an uncertain result. An unknown result is different from another employee owning the conversation; repeatedly pressing Send can create avoidable confusion.

*Example conversation with manual reply and original media. Actual interface with synthetic examples; names, counts and prices are illustrative. Availability can vary by account. Select the image to enlarge it.*

1. Confirm the selected customer and read the exact notice.
2. If another employee has control, coordinate with them before taking over.
3. For an uncertain send, use Check send outcome and wait for the result.
4. After reloading the same browser tab, check the retained result before creating a new send.
5. Retry only when the interface confirms a safely retryable failure. For an attachment, reselect the same original file when requested.
6. If recovery information cannot be saved, enable browser storage or free space before trying again. Contact support if the result remains unknown.

> Do not clear browser storage, switch tabs or replace an uncertain message with a new send to bypass recovery. Tell support the approximate time, channel and visible status; do not share passwords, tokens or unnecessary customer content.

## Common questions

### Does reloading send it again?

Recovery checks the saved operation; it should not create another provider send.

### Can I recover an attachment without its file?

You can check a completed or uncertain operation without the local file. A safely permitted retry can require the original file.

### Does confirmation prove the customer read it?

No. Channel acceptance, delivery and reading are different events.

## Check the result

Check the recorded operation outcome before resending. Persistent uncertainty needs investigation rather than automatic duplicate delivery.
