Not Saving New Content

Ok, so right now, on a specific page, whatever I edit disappears the moment I save and refresh. I've now done the same edit 5 times, cleared my cache, logged out and back in, refreshed the page, etc. Nothing works. The page keeps reverting to the old text as if my changes never happened.  What the heck to do I do at this point?  I can handle most of the quirks in Squarespace (like not letting me add new content at times unless I refresh), the random page reboot for no reason while I'm in the midst of making changes, etc., but losing my new content 5 times is nearly beyond the line in IMO.  Any suggestions?    

Having the same problem. I have done these changes 3 times now. I really hope they get on top of this. 

Yep having the same issue too. The logo and text on my cover page has altered size and font on its own. I go to change back to how I want it, save, but it always reverts back. Driving me crazy. But glad its not just me.... hope they fix this issue.

Same issue here, seems to be an ongoing one. I removed some text from my website last week to align images, applied the changes, saved them, done editing, refreshed my browser (Google Chrome) and double checked off of Squarespace the updates were made publicly--confirmed edits were removed, it all worked just fine.

One week later the old text is back, refreshed my browser and went into SS editor and yes the old text made its way back, my images are misaligned again. I just made the edits again and the revisions are saved back to how they are supposed to be. I will check again in one week. I'm the only one with access to make edits to the website, I don't feel it's a browser, refresh, or cache issue on my end, however, I'm willing to try new things that work better. If this happens again I'm going to try downloading Firefox as I've researched and found the Squarespace platform may process HTML and javascript site requirements better on FF than other browsers.

Having the same problem - save button not available after making edits. All the blocks on the page have been upgraded to Fluid Engine.

Same issue here, the [done/save] function doesn't work, clearly a major bug. I did a lot of edits last week and everything was dismissed. Tried again today, still the same issue, clear that they shipped the solution before thinking and testing it enough, so full of bugs.

The cost of beta-releases like this will not only be big for us as users, but for brand reputation, more and more issues like this make me think twice about promoting the service for clients... 

Hope this will be sorted as soon as possible.
I was hoping to find a [save] shortcut since the button is broken. 

Squarespace is not letting me save...I did everything such as cleaning the cache. Its been like this since I started my trial.  This is very concerning and a big issue. I have done a lot of changes and by the time I want to save the SAVE button is not working. Its been very unproductive working this way.  It will take me the entire day going back and forth guessing if I can or can't save.

When something isn't working as expected, please contact Squarespace Customer Care directly.

Are people still having this issue? Has anyone found a workaround? I am experiencing it today for the first time and it's incredibly frustrating. The Done dropdown just doesn't work to expand and show Save, so to exit the page I have to refresh or close, losing all changes. I'm using Chrome and have done all of the troubleshooting recommendations. Seems to work with Safari, but I would love to continue using Chrome.

While I know these comments may not be monitored, when chatting with Support, they were grateful that I referenced this thread to see others with the same issue.

I found out that editing in Safari helps for me. At least for now.
And I removed very block of custom coding. 

Maybe it helps you too.

I too am having this problem. I've updated Chrome. I've deleted caches. I've tried using safari.

Added to this I am trying to contact Square space as advised by the 'Circle Member' above but it's quite hard to actually contact anyone. 

Anyone got anymore tips?

For others experiencing the issue where the Save button doesn't dropdown after making edits, my husband and I were both experiencing this with various different sites on separate computers and boiled it down to a conflict with using our Wacom tablets (instead of mouse or trackpad) to operate Squarespace in Chrome or Firefox. Save button does not appear when using tablet, but Save button functions normally while using trackpad. Driver update didn't work, not sure what the solution is now but hope this helps someone else avoid wasting tens of hours like I have!

@michiel @georgie_f @Spacedog @MYC @sylte  Are any of you editing on a Wacom tablet?

So glad I found this thread - thought I was going mad!

I can make edits in existing websites I have, but I'm working on a new one and the changes just won't save. Saw your comment about the Wacom tablet, so I've tried to update the drivers and it quits on me at 99%... I've disconnected the tablet and now all working fine!

Going to give live chat a try, see how I get on. If I have any updates I'll report back!

@lh-cl-2021 It is so frustrating! Mine won’t work on any websites in my account, and my husband is experiencing the same thing—different computer, account and websites but also using Wacom Intuos. Updating the driver didn’t work for us. Spent an hour on the phone with Wacom yesterday testing different fixes including editing Privacy> Accessibility settings, but nothing helped.
 

Squarespace says this is along the lines of issues they’re seeing with some touchscreens and are working on a fix, but it’s impossible to get any more info. Will keep you posted with any updates!

In the meantime, safari or unplugging tablet works.

Having the same issues. I tried editing and saving markdown code 15 different times, and the saves keep being lost. Can you help, @Squarespace Guru

Can confirm for me that this is an issue with my Wacom ONLY.

Would love a fix – my subscription prices to Squarespace keep going up, but quality keeps going down.

Hi, same problem, I spent two days working on the Kevin Mastuya theme, it saved until 10 min ago, then it stopped responding. As I refreshed I lost all the updates including the saved ones. Is this because I am working on a 'copy' version during trial or is it Squarespace this unstable?
 

thanks

Still occuring for me but I have found a way around it!

I work on a 16" MacBook Pro connected to a second screen, with a separate keyboard and Wacom.

I can work as usual, however if I need to save anything, I need to use the MacBook trackpad as a separate "mouse" to save it.

I LOST two days of work because Squarespace wouldn't save my blog post. How can I retrieve it?? I saved it during the time I was doing the post. But it wouldn't save at all when I went to save the final time. And now, it shows as if I never saved anything for the last half day.

This is beyond infuriating.

I contacted customer care live chat but all i got was,
1. Let the browser (hopefully) do its job and see if the changes stick.
2. Refresh and add the edits anew, saving more frequently after each change.

so i guess it's my fault for not smashing that save button after each edit like adobe made me do ten years ago.

TLDR: if this happens to you, you're SOL, and you need to start over, but be better next time.

I have been using squarespace for 2 year on the same site - updating and editing the same buttons adding links to the buttons. now today it will not let me...

I am having a similar issue 2 years later. When I enter a link using the editor it will not save. There is no recurse in any support option to ask technical questions. This is nuts.
