I closed elements because it was running a tad slow. On opening there was a message saying that the files had been repaired. On viewing my pages they were blank, until I realised that elements had put a whole stack of SGV files on top of my home file. I deleted them and now my home page is visible on elements. Can you expand on what happened, has anything changed in my site etc? ---

Do you have a copy of your project file that displays the issue? If you do can you share it via Elements Cloud and we can take a look for you 🙂 ---

Elements Cloud? where? how? In the meantime this program is tearing my hair out. I publish one page, with one small change in it and the home page now looks like this. ![Screenshot 2025-09-25 at 6.56.23 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/1/f/1fdc0b0094e0085915c3a8d5edc29538a735dc7c.jpeg) ---
