VN Project Disappeared or Lost
Ongoing iOS, Android, Mac, Windows Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
VN projects live only on your device: there's no cloud backup and signing in doesn't sync them. Check Drafts, try undo inside the project, and from now on export the project file as a backup.
Most likely fix: Check the home screen and folders.
Symptoms
A project is missing from the home screen, opens empty, or opens with recent edits gone. Undo/redo doesn't restore it.
Why it happens
- App reinstall, phone reset or switching phones (projects are local only)
- App bug after an update
- Clearing app data on Android
- Project saved while the app crashed
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Check the home screen and folders
- Look through all projects on the VN home screen, including any folders you moved projects into
- Sort or scroll to find duplicates or renamed projects
2. Try undo inside the project
- Open the project and tap undo repeatedly; some users recovered missing edits this way
3. Don't reinstall or clear data
- Reinstalling or clearing app data deletes local projects; avoid it until projects are backed up
4. Back up projects from now on
- On the VN home screen, use Share on the project (Project Sharing) to export the project file
- Save it to cloud storage or a computer; it can be opened in VN on another device
5. Contact VN support
- Settings > Feedback in the app, or email vn.support@ui.com, with your device and app version
