Fix a problem
Changes not saving, missing notes, broken links, and other common problems.
My changes are not saving#
Flints saves a few seconds after you stop typing. The top bar should show Saved.
If it does not:
- Check your internet connection.
- Refresh the page (
F5). Your text should still be there. - If you are bounced to the login page, your session expired. Log in again and check the note.
A note has disappeared#
- Check the trash first — deleted notes sit there and can be restored.
- It may be inside a folder; expand your folders and look.
- Press
Ctrl+Kand search by name.
A wikilink is not working#
- Check the note name is spelled exactly right. Capitalisation does not matter, but spelling does.
- Renaming a note rewrites the links pointing at it automatically, so a broken link is almost always a spelling difference.
My code block has no colours#
The language is probably still Plain Text. Click the language name in the top-left corner of the block and pick the right one.
The outline is not showing#
Three possible reasons:
- The note has no headings yet — the outline is built from headings.
- The outline button in the top bar is switched off.
- Your window is too narrow — below 1180 pixels the outline hides itself.
A share link does not open#
- Sharing may have been turned off. Open the note and check Share.
- Make sure the whole link was copied.
An image will not upload#
Supported formats are PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, and SVG. Anything else is rejected.
