Hi there! 👋 I understand how frustrating it can be when the Publish button isn't working properly. I don't have specific information about when this particular issue will be fixed in your account. However, I can definitely help with explaining what might be happening and provide some troubleshooting steps and workarounds. ## What's Happening This is actually a known bug in the Vapi UI. According to information I found, other users have reported similar issues where the UI indicates changes are saved, but they disappear after refreshing the page. As one source mentioned, "I've tried on multiple tools and various headers - nothing will save. It says it saves, but after I reload the header is gone" and it was confirmed as "a known bug" in the system. ## Potential Causes Several factors could be contributing to this intermittent issue: - A known bug in the Vapi UI affecting the save functionality - Ongoing migration to a new Vector Storage provider causing temporary disruptions - Potential browser-related issues with cache or extensions - Possible API endpoint issues ## Troubleshooting Steps Here are some steps you can try: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Disable browser extensions, especially ad blockers or script blockers 3. Try a different browser or use an incognito window 4. Ensure your browser is up to date 5. Try a hard reset of the browser (ctrl+shift+r) ## Workaround Solution If the dashboard UI continues to be problematic, you can use the Vapi API as a workaround. For example, to update configurations, you can use a PATCH request like:
Copy code
curl -X PATCH 'https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/{assistant_id}' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "server": {
    "url": "https://your-server-url.com",
    "secret": "your-secret-key",
    "timeoutSeconds": 20,
    "headers": {
      "custom-header": "header-value"
    }
  }
}'
## Dashboard Redesign
A new version of the dashboard (V2) is currently under development and is expected to be released by the end of the quarter. This new version should address many of the current issues with the dashboard. Is there anything specific about this issue you'd like me to clarify further?

Hey guys, really sorry for your bad experience. If you guys could share a Loom video of the process along with your assistant IDs, we can definitely track it down and fix it for you.
