Try these in order:
- Refresh the page.
- Re-open the app from your dashboard.
- Try a private or incognito browser window.
- Disable browser extensions that may block scripts.
- If this started after a recent edit, restore a previous version from history.
- If there is an error message, paste it into Chat mode and ask Zite to investigate.
No app created yet
No app created yet
No app created yet is usually a temporary connection or creation issue.- Refresh the page.
- Go back to your dashboard and re-open the app.
- If the app still does not load, start a new prompt or contact support.
Too many requests or timeout
Too many requests or timeout
Too many requests and Timeout errors usually mean too many changes were requested in a short time, or an external service took too long to respond.- Wait a few minutes and try again.
- Re-open the app.
- Break the request into smaller steps.
- Check whether the error came from Zite or an external integration.
Failed to update sandbox files
Failed to update sandbox files
Retry the build or refresh the page. Changes made before the error are automatically saved, so you will not lose edits that were already applied.This can happen because of a third-party sandbox provider issue. The Zite team is working on ways to reduce the impact of this error.
Recent changes broke the app

Use history to restore a working version, then make the next fix in a smaller step.Before rebuilding, ask Zite:
Common building issues
UI or layout looks wrong
UI or layout looks wrong
Upload a screenshot and describe the exact issue. If possible, use Selective Edits to highlight the element before asking Zite to change it.Keep the request small: one section, one page, or one interaction at a time.
A button or form does nothing

Zite only completed part of the request

Large prompts are more likely to produce partial results.
- Ask Zite to summarize what it changed.
- List what is still missing.
- Ask for one remaining change at a time.
- Use Plan mode for larger updates before building.
Workflow is failing or returning the wrong data
Workflow is failing or returning the wrong data
Start with workflow run history. It shows the trigger, inputs, steps, outputs, and errors.Useful prompts:
Database records are missing or incorrect
Database records are missing or incorrect
Check the app is connected to the right Zite Database, table, and fields.Also check:
- field names and field types match what the app expects
- imported data columns were mapped correctly
- workflows writing to the database have the expected inputs
- AI fields with failed cells show clear regenerate errors from the field header
An integration is not working
An integration is not working
First identify whether the issue is in Zite or the connected service.Check:
- the connected account is still authorized
- the workflow step has the required input values
- the external service is available
- any required API key, token, or secret is still valid
- the run history shows the exact failed step
Prompting tips
- Name the exact page, section, database table, workflow, or integration.
- Include screenshots for UI problems.
- Include error messages and workflow run details when available.
- Ask Zite to explain before fixing when the cause is unclear.
- Keep fixes small: one issue, one area, or one workflow at a time.
- Avoid repeating the same fix prompt if it did not work. Switch to Chat mode or Plan mode and ask for a different approach.
