Why do I get this message repeatedly when using the software?

Especially when trying to log in?

" Read-Only

You’re in read-only mode. Any changes you make won’t be saved."

This usually happens to me when I’ve (or someone else has) opened the app in another tab or the tab times out. If you see this, best to refresh the app builder.
