Craft Text Reverting or Disappearing

Workaround available All platforms Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

Text that reverts or vanishes in Craft is a sync conflict: the same document is open on another device or browser tab. Close it everywhere else, let sync finish, and update all devices.

Most likely fix: Close the document elsewhere.

Symptoms

Words you typed disappear, paragraphs jump back to an older version, or the web app flickers while editing.

Why it happens

  • Same document open on another device or extra browser tab
  • Offline edits on two devices merging
  • Outdated app version on one device
  • Browser extensions interfering on the web app

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Close the document elsewhere

    1. Close the document on other devices and extra browser tabs

  3. 3. Web flickering
