Anyone else had this happen? Editing a workflow, a rather involved one with multiple conditions and steps, and 20 minutes in, the screen goes blank. Nothing helps but reloading the browser, and all the edits are gone. Happened twice today on the same workflow šŸ˜  Is there any way to force the workflow to save? The ā€œDoneā€ button isnā€™t showing at that point. ---

Open the dev tool with F12 key. Go to console. Refresh the page and check if there are errors when you try to reproduce the issue. ---

Ok, a little different this time. Re-creating the same workflow, seemed to be going smoothly. It was still there when I shifted away and back. Did some work in the Data editor and got a message - couldnā€™t save column, Glide needs to close or something similar. I went to the console and copied, then checked the Workflow - once again, all the edits to that Workflow are gone! Iā€™m going to stop trying with that workflow, create a new one, and submit a ticket. Hereā€™s the top of the console log ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/4/34edc9bd8a1fc824f7a2d243f35396cedf040bf9.png) ---

You have no extension activated right? ---

Not sure exactly what you mean by activated, but yes, I do have extensions installed in my browser - Loom, password manager, etc. Was there a specific extension, or just anything? ---

Try to disable them all and check if it helps. ---

I get that periodically and to answer Maximeā€™s question, Iā€™m the only member working on the app. It comes up when hereā€™s no other tab with the app open. ---

No other members. I have another computer I use that is at home that sometimes has the app editing screen open when I grab my laptop, so I guess it would appear to Glide as the same IP, but definitely not the same session or device. Just now I got three forced refreshes, with that computer logged out and no active session, and 2 error messages repeatedly. The frequency of this has gone up since late Thursday. ā€œCould not save due to connectivityā€ (no connectivity issues) ā€œApp is open in another tab, open app hereā€ (not true) ---

Internet is good, ethernet connection. Itā€™s still a mystery how a workflow could be built up with many steps, and then just _poof_ itā€™s gone. Itā€™s not like the old days when we have to hit Save every so often. What exactly was going on with Glide while I was building up the workflow? Browser extensions, maybe. Itā€™s not like this happens all the time, just a really bad day last week. [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/white-screen-of-death-editing-workflow/79898.md?page=2)
