Troubleshooting projects

Troubleshooting when projects don’t save.

Updated this week

If your project isn’t saving correctly in Examply, don’t worry — this guide will walk you through common causes and quick fixes to get things working again.


⚙️ Step 1: Confirm Auto-Save Settings

By default, projects in Examply auto-save every few seconds. If you’ve disabled auto-save, manual saving may be required.

To check this:

  1. Click your profile icon → Settings → General.

  2. Ensure Auto-Save Projects is turned ON.

  3. If you prefer manual saves, make sure you’re clicking Save Project before exiting.


🗂️ Step 2: Make Sure You Have Edit Permissions

If you’re a viewer or guest, you may not have permission to make changes.

Check your role:

  • Open the project.

  • Click Project Settings → Members.

  • Ensure your role is Editor or Admin.

If you don’t have the right permissions, contact your project admin for access.


💾 Step 3: Clear Browser Cache or App Data

Sometimes, local data can interfere with syncing.

Try these fixes:

  • Web: Clear your browser cache and cookies, then log back in.

  • Desktop app: Log out → Quit the app → Reopen and log in again.

  • Mobile app: Go to your phone’s settings → clear Examply’s app storage → reopen the app.


🔁 Step 4: Check Sync Status

If you’re using Examply across multiple devices, make sure all your devices are synced.

In the app:

  • Go to Settings → Sync Status.

  • Look for any unsynced projects or errors.

  • Click Retry Sync to manually push your changes to the cloud.


🧩 Step 5: Disable Browser Extensions or Ad Blockers

Some browser extensions can interfere with Examply’s saving process.

Try disabling extensions one by one, especially:

  • Ad blockers

  • Script blockers

  • Privacy extensions

Then reload Examply and try saving your project again.


🧱 Step 6: Check for Account or Plan Limits

If you’re on the Free Plan, you can only have up to 3 active projects. Once you reach that limit, new projects won’t save.

Solutions:

  • Archive or delete an old project.

  • Upgrade to Examply Plus (Paid) for unlimited projects.
