Spent 4 days creating my onboarding screen, lots of great workflows, visibility logic, containers, sections etc, all working fine. Then last night all my components (50 +) have gone, except for 2 component headings. No buttons available, just a logo header. A couple of weeks ago at about the same time on a Friday evening Glide went down and I had messages about its status, so I thought it had happened again. HAs anyone else had this type of experience, like a glitch but far worse! All ,my components are stil visible and available to edit in the left hand column as usual but the user interface is completely broken. I’m planning to start again, as I learned a lot in the process but very concerned it’ll happen again. Any way of backing up? Or cabn support get back older versions? Anyone know what’s going on? Thanks Andre ---

Were you doing something at the time they disappeared, or were they gone when you went into the builder? I’ve never had things randomly disappear on me, but if you start messing with screen or collection layout styles, then there is a chance to lose components and actions on that screen or any subsequent screens. That’s why I ask is you were doing anything at the moment they disappeared. ---

Hi Jeff There were a few things: I was using new Boolean columns to manage visibility. When button clicked in container the workflow turned Boolean to false , which disappeared current container and revealed another for completion. Then I noticed I hadn’t set a Row owner, and on the last test user row (row13) that I created (before setting the row owner column) I used the same name as row 1. This sent data entered to row 1 and partial data to row 13. When I tried to undo all this by deleting row 13 and manually unchecking the Boolean column values to reveal the data entry fields, that’s when everything went. So it seems to be related to not setting row owners, duplicating a name, then setting row owner column to user\_email, then manually undoing Boolean settings. Also , I set a row owner column to user\_email for another screen which wasn’t related to onboarding screen. I think this is least likely to have caused the problem. Is the mistake obvious to you Jeff? Thanks Andre ---

Reading your original post a second time, I noticed the following statement, which @Hassan_Nadeem clearly caught the first time, so I may have misunderstood initially. Just to make sure, please clarify if components have been deleted or are still there, but not visible. That’s a big difference. > [@Andre75](#): > > All ,my components are stil visible and available to edit in the left hand column as usual but the user interface is completely broken Also, as @Hassan_Nadeem requested… > [@Hassan\_Nadeem](#): > > Can you please share a complete screenshot of your layout editor? Please also share how your visibility conditions are set up. I have a few suspicions what could be happening, but it depends on how your configured everything. ---
