Troubleshooting

CMS won't load or shows a blank page

Try a different browser (Chrome works best). Clear cache and try again.

GitHub login fails

Make sure you accepted the collaborator invitation email. Check spam. Try incognito mode.

Changes aren't showing on the website

Wait 30-60 seconds, then hard refresh (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows).

Got an error when publishing

If someone else published at the same time, wait 30 seconds and try again.

Published the wrong content

Don't worry — Victor can revert any change. Just let him know.
