I’ve started a new project over the weekend and had an issue where changing screens wiped out all the blocks. Its probably only a glitch and only annoying as this stage as its only a new project but if I’d been working on it for months it would have been a disaster. It goes to highlight that being able to download a backup is crucial for any real development. Could I suggest that you consider adding backups as a high priority. ---
