Many problems can be solved with the following steps. If your problem is not resolved despite the execution of these steps, buildagil support will be happy to help you.

Registration


The troubleshooting for the login is described in the following article: Troubleshooting during registration

Restart app


Some problems can be solved by restarting buildagil.
To execute a new start, click on the profile picture and then on restart app.



A window will then open in which you can click on Restart to execute the new start.



Delete local data


If the problem is not solved by a simple restart, the local data can be deleted in a second step.
This may result in you having to log in again.

When you delete the local data, all unsaved content, such as comments, is lost.

To delete the local data, proceed as for a restart and then click on Delete local data in the window.



Deactivate preview version


The preview version of buildagil provides access to the new roles of buildagil, which are in the final phase before the official release. As these roles are still in the final testing phase, problems may occur when using them.
By deactivating the preview version, buildagil is set to the normal version and the problems associated with the preview version disappear.
You can find more information on the preview version in the following article: Preview version

To deactivate the preview version, click on the profile picture and then on preview version.



Empty browser cache


If you have problems logging in to buildagil, it can often help to clear the browser cache. This will delete all saved login information. By deleting the cache, you will need to log in to buildagil again.

Go to Advanced in the settings at the top right and check Display "Developer" menu in the menu bar. The Developer option will then appear in the menu bar.
Click on the option you have just added and select Clear cache.

Lost settings after restart


If the login to buildagil has to be executed again every time the device or browser is restarted, the buildagil Opener has to be reinstalled or other settings are lost, it may be due to the cache settings of the browser or operating system.
In these cases, the following steps can help.

Check whether incognito mode is being used
No data is saved in the cache in incognito mode. It should be ensured that the normal browser mode is used to retain the settings and login data.

Check settings for deleting browser data when closing
Check whether the browser is set to delete all browsing data on close. This can be done in Microsoft Edge under edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose. If this option is activated, it should be deactivated so that the data remains saved in the cache.

Check Windows settings
Some privacy settings in Windows can also prevent the browser from saving data. These settings should be checked. If necessary, they must be adjusted by the internal IT department.
