Hi,

So there is a duplicate empty project folder within Pinegrow if one of my colleagues opens the project that i created with their account.

To make it easier i created a 2min video that shows what’s going on 😉

Hi @Guido, can’t replicate this issue on my end. Perhaps there is something wrong with the workspace profile of the second user? Please try to restore the workspace to one of the default layouts and see if this happens still.

Hi @matjaz

I just created a new video where i try different workspace settings and there are some more weird things happening. 😉 Hope it will help you debugging it. If you haven’t have any of these issues then i will try to create a brand new WordPress installation and see if it still happens then.

Thanks @Guido! This was helpful. I fixed a problem in the Left - Right layout (it has two project panels).

The workspace settings are saved after 1 minute or when the project is saved or closed - but not when it is exported. That’s why the settings in your video did not get saved. Will add forced save on workspace switch.
