Common Questions

Why didn't the thumbnail preview for my visual update on the dashboard?

It may take around 5-15 minutes for the update depending on the server load. The thumbnail preview is updated when your work is manually saved using the Save button in the Editor. The latest version of your visual is what you see in the Editor.

If the thumbnail preview is not the updated visual yet, it could be that your latest visual in the Editor was auto-saved (not manually saved). Hence, your thumbnail preview and the Editor visual will look different.
