Troubleshooting Common Editing Issues

Sections Not Updating

If elements become "frozen" or unresponsive to edit commands:

  2. Use the "Discard all changes" option if available
  3. Try selecting a parent container and modifying the entire section
  4. In extreme cases, create a new section and replace the problematic one

Missing UI Elements

If navigation or menu elements show as "[System: Header Navigation Menu] Customize header":

  1. Go to project Settings
  2. Check that all navigation menu items are properly configured
  3. Save the menu settings again to refresh

Image Upload Issues

If you're having trouble uploading or replacing images:

  1. Ensure your image is in a supported format (JPG, PNG, SVG)

  3. Try selecting the container that holds the image first
  4. Use AI Edit with "Replace the image in this section with..." command
