Hi Stephane, yes I can see them now. MANY THANKS. But Im still wondering why did it happen in the first place? The problem was when I tried to connect the Gitlab repo to the project. Im scared to even do it again, but is there any way you can help with it? ---

Hi @Mariaberrocal , we’re not entirely sure what’s causing this, as connecting your GitLab repo shouldn’t normally trigger that issue. Could you please try connecting it again? If the problem happens once more, just let us know and we’ll dig in right away." ---

Hi! sure. Here’s a step by step of what Im doing and the issue that comes up. Let me know if there’s something I can try to make it work. I was really looking forward to working with my design system that’s located in a Gitlab repo. Step 1. Select the option from here ![Screenshot 2025-08-14 at 4.09.00 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/builder/original/2X/9/91d745a2ffe8f78979dc3ccb4792a4fb7ceb0362.jpeg) Step 2.
