Hi, today i startet play with elements 0.6.3. First all things are good. Now after so hour not working with it, no Components were shown in the editor. this tip from December "We’re aware of this bug and it’s actually something we’re working on fixing for the next beta It’s an issue with the editor not updating (even though the objects are there). To workaround this until the next beta, simply create another page, and swap to it and then back again (you should only need to do this once)." does not work for me… ---

Have you tried restarting Elements? Also, could you share this project with us (via Elements Cloud) and we can get it fixed up for you! ---

Try deleting the preferences, but before you do make sure you have a copy of your license number to hand as you’ll need to re-enter it. 1. Make sure Elements is not running 2. In the finder press press “Command-Shift-G” to bring up the Go To Folder window and paste in the following: `~/Library/Containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements/Data/Library/Preferences/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements.plist` 1. Delete the file: `com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements.plist` 2. Re-launch Elements (and re-register). Fingers crossed you should be back up and running now! ---

> [@herbertkoeppel](#): > > it suddenly works again? Very strange… I hope it stays like this now, that it is always displayed… I think you’re on macOS 13.7.1 (from the logs above), but Im also wondering what Mac you’re running it on? I’m only asking as we’ve not had this issue reported before and it seems like a very strange bug, one that shouldn’t be possible 🤔 > [@herbertkoeppel](#): > > There is another question, is there actually a way to migrate projects that were made with Rapidweaver 9.1.1 into an Elements project? Not at this time, Element based websites are built completely differently so there’s no easy way to open those older Classic documents. We may look at building an importer at a later date, should the demand be there. However, you should see this as a great opportunity to refresh your website and bring it up-to-date with modern web technologies and standards.
