I get this error when syncing to Pavlovia from the Builder.
Description of the problem:

Do you have a routine or component called pptleftside?

Did you previously call it something else?

I’ve come across this and found that I could sync if I changed the name back to what it was previously. You might be able to change it again later.

That was weird, but yes if I change the name of that routine, it works fine now!
