Hi, I am having issues getting the sources I have set in the code to save. I am finding every time I go back into my code after logging in or after the page has been refreshed that the sources will not save. This problem only occurs within the code. I can not tell if this is a bug or If I am doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated. - OIB ---

Hey @OIBCODES932 Thanks for your question 👍 To me this sounds like you are using “app” variables in your app and when your close your app and open it again the temp data is gone, is that correct? I would recommend using “stored” variables instead, as your data will now be persistent. Take a look at our docs to see some examples of this in action: [https://docs.thunkable.com/variables](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables) ---

I want to make a game where the image will change so I don’t really know how to use stored variables to do that. Thanks, OIB ---

Thanks for that. Did you delete or rename some of the images in your app? ---

Hey thanks for the help, We figured out you have to drop over a text box over where the source is and then type in the source for the sources to save in the code ![Thunkablehelp](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/e/be2105a450bdbf38c8f49f810c71514935e40fab.png) **MARK SOLVED** ---
