URL of experiment:

> **[Shape Matching Task](https://run.pavlovia.org/belief-suppression/shape-matching/)**

Description of the problem:  
We ran 5 subjects through Prolific in the above task just to pilot and make sure everything is working. Everything seemed to go well, except that when I updated the git repository on my computer, there were 7 data files, and 1 participant seemed to be missing. When I check the Pavlovia dashboard it says 5 completed and 3 aborted, and when I download the data from the dashboard, indeed the zip file contains 8 data files. Why then are there only 7 data files in the gitlab repository for the experiment?

I found a similar post from a year ago, [Data not saving through Gitlab](https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/data-not-saving-through-gitlab/29691) but there are no responses on possible causes for the discrepancy.
