App loads, but app editing is EMPTY

💬 App Building

  1. My goal: Update my app with NEW and EXCITING features
  2. Issue: Editing my app shows that it's blank, no loading issues from what I can see
  3. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot: Refreshed the edit page, duplicated the app, exported the json (its looks super empty and I'm scared the app configuration is GONE :face_holding_back_tears: )
  4. Additional info: (Cloud or Self-hosted, Screenshots) cloud

The app loads fine, but editing is blank. May be related to this, but solution didn't work: Edit an app is empty! - #3 by Ohad_Perry

May be related to effects of this: Retool apps don't load for some users

PLEASE HELP, remaking the app will KILL ME

Hi @jadetools,

For both apps, it looks like the last handful of page saves are an empty app :thinking:. I am not sure why the app got cleared, but it doesn't appear to be the same allowedGroupIds issue that you linked.

It looks like both apps use releases, so you could revert the app to the latest release with data (it looks like, respectively, versions 1.1.16 and 1.3.3 have data).

Or, you could try navigating through the app history to step back to a version that has your data. If you go with this approach, be careful not to mess with the app in the editor until you find a version that you want to keep. Here is the instructions: Using Releases (app versioning) & Source Control together Essentially, you can start by stepping back 5 steps in the history offset. If needed, keep increasing that number in the url until you find a version you want to keep. When you find that version, make a small edit on the canvas (i.e move a component back and forth) to persist that version of the app. Then, you can clear the historyOffset url param from your app url.
