My survey changes have disappeared

Hi, I spent 3 hours editing my survey, and all the changes have disappeared. Is there any way to get them back? Is this kind of glitch avoidable? How can I prevent this from happening again? This kind of thing makes me feel quite desperate.

Hi Lori,

I’m so sorry you lost your work.

First, check your project’s history on Pavlovia for a previously saved version. You should also try opening it in a different browser or on another device, as it might just be a loading error.

To prevent this from happening again, save and commit your work often, use a single browser tab, and avoid long editing sessions. For extra security, regularly export your survey as a JSON file to create a local backup.

See this post:

Hope this helps.
