If changes aren't saving

TroubleshootingUpdated Mar 15, 2026~1 min read

If your changes don't seem to be saving or syncing, Orbit's offline write queue may need attention.

Check the sync indicator:

  • Green dot on your avatar = connected and syncing
  • No dot = not connected (Free tier or no session)
  • Red dot = disconnected (network issue)

If writes are failing:

  1. Check your internet connection
  2. Look for a yellow "Failed Writes" banner at the top of the page
  3. If it appears, click "Retry" to re-push failed changes
  4. Go to Settings > Data to see sync status

How the write queue works:

  • Changes save to localStorage instantly (always works)
  • Orbit pushes changes to Supabase in the background
  • If the push fails (offline, network error), it queues for retry
  • The queue retries up to 5 times per change
  • After 5 failures, changes are logged to the failed writes list

Nuclear option: If sync is stuck, try Settings > Data > "Force Sync" to re-push everything. This is safe — it only writes, never deletes.
