Hi,  
I am aware that these kinds of errors happen often and that there are multiple threads. I tried solving my problem by applying the steps recommended in these threads but I have not been successful, which is why I created a new one. I hope that somebody can help me.

**OS** (e.g. Win10): Win10  
**PsychoPy version** (e.g. 1.84.x): v2022.1.2  
**Standard Standalone? (y/n)** If not then what?: I am not sure what this means, sorry.  
**What are you trying to achieve?:** Synchronizing a working experiment with [Pavlovia.org](http://Pavlovia.org)

**What did you try to make it work?:**

- I signed out and in again at [pavlovia.org](http://pavlovia.org) (via browser) and through the PsychoPy Builder.
- I updated to version 2022.1.2
- I created a new project for the experiment.
- I looked for hidden files such as a .git file but there were none.
- I tried to upload a basic project that does not include any files, which worked.
- A colleague updloaded the project from their computer and although there were other errors during piloting, syncing did work.

**What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:**  
Include pasted full error message if possible. “That didn’t work” is not enough information.

When you are looking at your list of experiments online, can you see one with that id? That number must be coded in the local .git folder (which gets created the first time you sync with Pavlovia and create a new project online).

You’ve said that you are logged into Builder with the correct username, but this is worth double-checking.
