Edit App not loading the app in edit mode

💬 App Building

I’m running into an issue and would greatly appreciate your help. My goal is to open a specific app in edit mode and the app doesn't load, as in I cannot view anything in edit screen it's all empty on the csreen. It used to work perfectly in the past.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • I select the app in the main menu and click on "Edit."
  • The page open but I don't see any components on the screen.

Could someone please guide me how to resolve this

It was an issue with my current working version and deleted all components on the screen.
Reverting to the old version fixed the issue for me.

hello @Varun_Damani ,

Reverting to an older version often resolves issues caused by unintended changes or misconfigurations in the current version. To prevent similar problems in the future, consider these best practices:

  1. Enable Version Control: Utilize Retool's built-in versioning to save versions of your app before significant changes, allowing easy rollbacks if needed.
  2. Test in a Clone: Clone your app before making major updates to ensure the original remains intact.
  3. Maintain Backups: Regularly export your app as a JSON file for offline restoration if required.
  4. Exercise Caution with Changes: Be mindful when making bulk edits to components or running scripts that modify app structures, as these actions can inadvertently cause issues.
