What should I do if I encounter issues launching the Atlas app on Shopify or worry about data loss?
Using the Atlas app on Shopify can sometimes present technical challenges, such as issues launching the app or concerns about data loss during outages. This guide provides common troubleshooting steps and reassures users about the security of their saved data.
Troubleshooting Launch Errors
If you’re having trouble launching the Atlas app, the issue may stem from your browser, device, or local environment settings rather than your Shopify plan. Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Open in Incognito Mode: Start by launching the app from an incognito or private browsing window. Log in to your Shopify account again to see if the problem persists.
Switch Browsers: Try accessing the app using a different browser, such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. Sometimes, specific browser configurations or extensions can interfere with app performance.
Change Devices: If the problem persists, use a different device or computer to rule out machine-specific issues.
Clear Cache and Cookies: On your original device, clear your browser’s cache and cookies. You can also disable any browser extensions or test the app using a different user profile to isolate the cause of the error.
By systematically testing these options, you can identify whether the issue is related to your local environment and apply the appropriate resolution.
Ensuring Data Security During Outages
Sometimes, issues with loading the Atlas app may be the result of external network outages, such as those caused by a third-party service provider like Cloudflare. These situations may temporarily limit your access to the app. However, rest assured that your saved work and data in Atlas remain unaffected during such outages. Any previously saved changes will not be lost, and you can resume work once the issue has been resolved. By following these steps and understanding the nature of network-related outages, you can minimize disruption and confidently use the Atlas app within your Shopify store.
