It's not always that clear. If I leave a page, how is one to know whether that was intentional or not?

If it's intentional, you don't want to pull the data back up (people want a "fresh copy")

If it's not intentional, you do want to pull the data back up.

Though of course you can make something like a "New Copy" button, but then that presents its own challenges.

That no longer makes sense unless it isn't feasible to preserve the change history along with current state...
