Recover Lost Work

Discuss
1

Hi Diego, sharing this here in the community in case it helps others too.

Yesterday I left my Creator session open, and today I continued working without realizing that the new Creator had already been set as the default.

While editing the GOU app, it looks like my changes weren’t saved after the update. I closed everything and reopened Creator, but I can’t find what I worked on late yesterday or anything I’ve done today so far.

Is there any way to recover this work? It’s not critical since I’m just getting started, but it would definitely save me some time.

Also flagging this in case it’s useful feedback for the current rollout—I hadn’t seen the community notice about phase 3 and the switch to the new Creator without needing the previous URL, so it might be worth making that transition more visible.

What domain were you using? If you were on creator-new.kodular.io, then you were already in the new platform. If your account was already migrated, it’s not possible you were working on the “old” platform.

It seems like the issue is more about unsaved work, rather than the platform switch… In theory, your work should be saved every minute if no activity happens. Let me know which platform you were using, and I may be able to check the saves on the files.
However, if the issue is on your computer not actually saving it (due to lost connectivity while idle), then there’s nothing we can recover.

So, just to clarify, the only risk of projects being messed up is when the account is migrated from the old platform to the new one. Once that is done, no other changes will occur to the projects. Since yesterday all users were already redirected to the “new” domain; today the flip happened.
What happened earlier, with the domain change, is that maybe some edits would get redirected to the new domain. However, it shouldn’t fail saving projects as such: the request will get redirected from “new” to “default”, but both are running the same instance of Kodular Creator.

I was using the new domain. I left the web open last night, and I continued the work today at midday. This afternoon, I refreshed (F5) because I was having problems with ‘Server error: could not save one or more files.’ After updating, the blocks disappeared

Connectivity issues,

Are you sure you was able to run your project in companion?

6

Yes, I coukd run the project in companion, but the error was shown in the creator web. Not in companion.

7

What was the project name / ID? I will look up the logs to see if we got any save request…

Also, do you remember what time did you stop working on it, to see if there are any requests on or after that?

The project name is GOU . I stopped working around 12:45 a.m. today. And I started again today at around 3:30 p.m. Thank you for your interest.

00:45 Madrid Time I guess?

Yes, that’s right. Sorry I didn’t mention it. Now I have opened the project.Is there any problem for you checking now?

So, I do see the following saves for Screen1 Blocks that may correlate to what you mentioned:

  • Apr 4, 2026, 00:49
  • Apr 4, 2026, 20:09

For the Screen1 Designer:

  • Apr 3, 2026, 00:07
  • Apr 4, 2026, 17:29

I looked into the Blocks, and there were no “gone” blocks. The only differences were:

  1. Orphaned message variable getter: a disconnected get block referencing an event param message, sitting loose on the workspace
  2. Empty Firestore1.GotAllDocs event handler: the event block exists but has no body/logic inside it
  3. Orphaned documents variable getter: another disconnected get block for documents, sitting loose on the workspace

In the update at 20:09, those 3 blocks were gone, but nothing else. What blocks in particular, or what things in the Designer, are you missing?

Never mind, @Diego , I’ve already restored the missing blocks. Those were blocks where I created procedures for queries and for retrieving documents from a Firestore collection using the Web component. But as I said, I’ve already remade them. I don’t want to waste your time on this when you have so much work ahead of you on the new Kodular updates.
I posted the message in case this error was a problem with the recent update. Thanks a lot.
