new to posting in the forums… have been creepn and learning for a while now… been measuring, analyzing, pivoting and agilely iterating my way to a finished site lol…
id just like to thank webflow… its worker bees and the community as a whole.
on a bit more granular level @vincent and @sabanna… thank you for your contributions… you’ve been the stones of my learning foundation! also pixelgeek… can only tag 2 as newly tho…
thanks @garymichael1313 … i should have done more basic trouble shooting prior to posting… i closed out WF and safari and reopened. that solved the error message but also cleared allll of my interactions… that wasn’t fun to see… got to learn about versions and backups tho. thank god it self saved … so i restored!
so after i restored to previous working version i took the same actions as before and created a symbol out of the same group of components… and the same issue occurs!
to clarify my previous post…i wasn’t actually copying and pasting… i was placing through the symbols panel. my intention was to use the symbol as a vessel of sorts…
Hmm… I would contact support directly with this one because it’s probably related to the projects themselves. Off the top of my head, I don’t think it’s the Designer. It seems to think you’re doubling up on site saving. This is a rare event.
@garymichael1313 thank you again g… i recreated the issue again do to the fact that once i did get the symbol to unlink and moved forward editing i forgot to set a sub defining class… having to restart that section again. i took the same steps as previously posted to create the symbol and again couldn’t unlink the symbol… original or another placed one. if i close out of WF and don’t click out of error msgs and reopen, it doesn’t save the “frozen” symbol, but if i click out of the 3 errors its frozen for good and i have to restore.
Thanks for posting about this and thanks so much for helping @garymichael1313
We are currently investigating this issue at high priority and hoping to have it resolved soon. As soon as I hear back from the team, I’ll post an update here.
i was wondering if the read only share link i post is effected as i continue to edit forward?
i also in general wonder about complexity of my design and or structuring, am i over designing over structured … idk…? as creatives do… i tend to push boundaries.
Your Read-Only link is a version of your project in the Designer in preview mode. Edits there won’t be saved, but any updates you make to the original version of your project will also be made in the preview mode (unless you turn off the Read-Only link, or create a new one).
In regards to the complexity of your design — it’s all subjective I’d say. Your first go at web design is awesome, though. I say push all the boundaries you can as long as the end product achieves the goals you and / or your client have set.
i was just concerned the link i provided would no longer contain the issues i was referring to if i continued to work forward… and sounds like i needed to turn off read only link i had created to preserve the error environment in said r.o.l.
in regards to complexity and or structure… thats the general concept i was under, that its (complexity) is more so relative to the structure system of the boxes… i just envision Fibonacci seq per usual… turtles all the way down i think they say. granted I’m sure the nature of actual content can stick a fork in any situation.
Thanks for your patience while we investigated. Our team was able to push a fix for this issue.
You will no longer run into the issue where interactions are deleted. Can you please let me know if you are still experiencing the issue around unlinking symbols?
