"This project was saved by a newer version of Fantasma"

When you open a project, a message in red appears: "This project was saved by a newer version of Fantasma. Saving is disabled here so it is not overwritten". Your browser tab runs an older copy of Fantasma than the one that last saved the project. The project itself is fine, and so is the theme on your Ghost site.

Why it happens

We update Fantasma often. A browser tab keeps running the copy of Fantasma it loaded, until you reload it. When the project was saved after an update, from another tab, another device or an AI agent you connected, an old tab cannot read every part of it. So it opens the project with saving turned off. Often the newer save was your own, from a tab you reloaded or a device you used later.

Do not download or publish the theme from that tab. A download from it can miss the parts it cannot read.

Load the newest Fantasma

  1. Reload the page with ⌘ R, or the browser's reload button on a phone or tablet. On Windows, Ctrl replaces ⌘ in this article.
  2. If the message comes back, close every Fantasma tab and window in this browser.
  3. Open https://www.fantasma.io/app in a new tab, and open the project from your list of projects.
  4. If it still comes back, reload that tab with the browser's cache skipped: ⌘ Shift R in Chrome, Firefox and Edge, or ⌥ ⌘ R in Safari. On a phone or tablet, open the project in a private tab instead.

The project opens without the message, and saving works again.

Edits you made in the old tab

Edits made in that tab are not saved, and Fantasma cannot recover them or list them for you. If the tab is still open, look over the page and write down what you changed, or copy text you wrote, before you reload. Then make the changes again in the new tab.

To avoid this, reload a Fantasma tab you left open for a while before you edit in it.

If the dialog "This project was changed in another window" opens in the old tab, it says "These edits were never savable from this version of Fantasma and will not be kept." Click Reload latest. "This project was changed in another window" explains the dialog.

Contact support

If the message still appears after all four steps, contact us and send the project's name, your browser and its version from its About page, and a screenshot of the message.
