Hi ppl! šŸ™‚We have a client that is experiencing some issues loading the studio, it keeps loading the documents forever. We can't really reproduce the problem, everything works properly on our end. Was hoping that someone had some issue similar to this mabey, so we can point our client to the solution!

Thanks everyone.
Cheers!

Hey there! This is a pretty common issue that usually resolves with clearing browser cookies. Based on the same exact issue reported in our community, here's what typically works:

The most common fix: Clear cookies

Have your client clear their browser cookies and cache, then try logging in again. This resolved the issue for others experiencing the infinite loading spinner when trying to access documents in the Studio.

Other things to check:

  1. Browser console errors - If clearing cookies doesn't work, ask them to open the browser's developer console (F12) and check for any error messages. This can help pinpoint what's actually going wrong.

  2. Private/Incognito mode issue - If they try using a private/incognito window and see "Your browser wouldn't accept our cookie" error, this is actually expected behavior since private browsing often blocks cookies by default. They should test in a regular browser window after clearing cookies instead.

  3. Firefox users - If they're using Firefox, there's a known cookie issue with specific workarounds.

  4. Browser compatibility - Make sure they're using a modern, up-to-date browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).

Quick troubleshooting steps for your client:

  1. Clear all cookies and cache for the Studio domain
  2. Close and reopen the browser completely
  3. Try logging in again

Since you can't reproduce it on your end, it's almost certainly a client-side browser/cookie issue rather than something with your Studio configuration. The fact that it keeps loading indefinitely (rather than showing an error) is a classic symptom of stale authentication cookies.

Hope this helps! Let us know if clearing cookies doesn't solve it and you need to dig deeper into console errors.

Hey Daniel! Is there anything in the browser’s console when this happens? Does it keep spinning indefinitely or do they eventually get an error?
It keeps spinning indefinitely. We were trying to investigate the best in our side before trying to ask the client to go to the browser console, since it will be a challenge šŸ˜…
Totally understand that, haha! I’ve seen this issue come up before so I’ll dig through the archives and see if they got it fixed.
Thank you so much

!Anyway you gave me the courage to make a video showing how he can go to the console to see if there are any errors there

Does the content load if they try to access the studio through a private window?
Already tryed that too, but in a private window you don't have the cookies and the login page has some sort of a bug. It keeps saying : "WE COULDN'T LOG YOU IN Your browser wouldn't accept our cookie."
Ah, are they using Firefox? There’s a suggested fix here if so.

Looking for the printscreen that they sent us, i think they are using Chrome on windows. Will, anyway, investigate this thread

The problem that i can see with cookies is if you try to login in an private session. Since you can't regist cookies you can't login. No matter the browser you use!
Hey
