Question 1

I accidentally deleted my project. Can it be recovered?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, deleted projects are generally permanent and cannot be recovered. To protect your work going forward, use GitHub integration to keep an external backup of your code.

Question 2

[Cloning] How to copy elements between Lovable projects?

Accepted Answer

Use the Remix feature to copy an entire project, then modify it. For individual components, export one project's code via GitHub, find the component JSX, and paste it into another project's code. Or describe the component in chat and ask Lovable to regenerate it in the new project.

Question 3

Project not found

Accepted Answer

If a project vanished, check your project list to confirm it's not there. Projects may be archived if not accessed recently. Use the "View History" button to see past versions or search your chat history for project references. If still missing, contact support@lovable.dev with the project name and creation date. For account security, enable two-factor authentication.

Question 4

Can I recover a deleted project?

Accepted Answer

Deleted projects are permanently removed and generally cannot be recovered. To prevent accidental loss, we recommend exporting your code via GitHub before making major changes.

Question 5

I see 'Project not found' when I try to open my project.

Accepted Answer

This error can mean the project was deleted, or the URL is incorrect. Check your dashboard for the project. If it's not listed, it may have been removed. Contact support with the project name or ID for investigation.

Question 6

My project is stuck loading and won't open.

Accepted Answer

Try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache. Switch to a different browser or incognito mode. If the project is very large, it may take longer to load. Contact support if it remains stuck after several attempts.

Question 7

Can I hide the Lovable badge?

Accepted Answer

The Lovable badge appears on free projects. Upgrade to a paid plan (Pro or Business) to remove it. Once upgraded, the badge is hidden, giving your project a fully custom appearance.

Question 8

Does project visibility affect who can visit my published app?

Accepted Answer

No, project visibility (private, workspace, restricted) doesn't affect who can visit your published app. Those settings control who can edit the Lovable project, not who can visit the live site. Once published, your app is public at its URL unless you add authentication (login page) or deploy only to a custom domain and restrict network access.

Question 9

How do I know what projects are generating most usage?

Accepted Answer

Check Project Settings to view credit usage per project. Pro and Business plans show usage details. Monitor which projects consume the most credits (Agent mode is more expensive than Plan mode). Use Plan mode for exploration to save credits. If a project is using more than expected, check if you have inefficient prompts or can break changes into smaller steps.

Question 10

How to save a Lovable project

Accepted Answer

Your project saves automatically as you work. If you've connected GitHub, changes sync automatically. Go to Project Settings (gear icon) to customize metadata like favicon and browser tab title, or to access advanced options like workspace-level publishing for Business/Enterprise plans.

Question 11

Project quick access

Accepted Answer

Use project quick access features to speed up your workflow—save frequently accessed sections, integrations, or settings for faster navigation.

Question 12

Why do some projects show as never scanned?

Accepted Answer

Projects may show as never scanned if you haven't run a security scan yet or if the scan hasn't completed. The Security center may not auto-scan all projects. Try manually triggering a scan in the Security view. If a project still shows as never scanned, it may not be eligible for scanning (e.g., very new projects). Contact support@lovable.dev for details.

Question 13

Can I change the project owner?

Accepted Answer

You can transfer ownership by remixing the project. The new owner becomes the remixer when they remix it. This creates a copy in their workspace. Direct ownership transfer isn't available, but remixing is the standard method. The original project remains with the previous owner unless deleted.

Question 14

Can I move a project to a different Lovable account?

Accepted Answer

Project transfers aren't self-service. Contact support@lovable.dev with the project name/URL, the source account email, and the destination account email. We'll help facilitate the transfer.

Question 15

Can I remove a design system from a project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in Project Settings → Connected Design Systems, click the system you want to remove and select 'Disconnect.' The project loses access to that system's components and styles immediately. Components already using the system won't break, but you won't be able to use new components from that system.

Question 16

Can I share a project with someone without transferring it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Lovable supports project collaboration. Invite others to your project through the sharing settings. They can view and edit without needing to transfer ownership.

Question 17

How can I transfer project ownership to someone else?

Accepted Answer

Remix your project—when someone else remixes it, they become the owner of the remixed copy. Alternatively, contact support@lovable.dev for direct ownership transfer options.

Question 18

How do I copy (remix) a project?

Accepted Answer

Find the project (yours or a public one), click 'Remix'. Lovable creates a copy under your account with a new name. You become the owner and can freely modify it without affecting the original.

Question 19

Can I revert to an earlier version of my project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, select an older version from the history panel and click Revert. Reverting creates a new edit card rather than deleting changes, so nothing gets lost—you can reapply changes if needed.

Question 20

How do I see my project history?

Accepted Answer

View your project history by scrolling up in the chat or clicking the View History icon. Versioning 2.0 groups changes by date (like Google Docs) and lets you preview or restore older versions anytime.
