Access to source file tree / preview pane lost after Duplicating

As of today, any and all projects blocks that I duplicate, or have recently duplicatyed, end up with “chat only”, meaning there’s no preview / file tree + source code pane. Which renders v0 completely unusable. I also opened a pri 1 support ticket at Login – Vercel if someone at v0 wants to take a look.

This issue with the “suddenly source code disappearing” has been an issue here since January 2025 by all appearances and still hasn’t been resolved. v0 is not a cheap tool and its #1 job should be to preserve the work that has already been created. It fails badly at that, and something changed today that makes all of our source code disappear on a new Duplicate.

I cannot find words to overstate my frustration and disappointment that software of this poor quality is released for-pay to the public. Terrible! And there are much stronger adjectives that I really feel but let’s leave it at that.

When you click this block here, does the project preview open?

I received a private reply from v0’s support team, just asking that I refresh everything and the file tree / preview pane reappeared. Apparently some global bug that you guys had for a day or two… regardless, mysterious loss of all source code (I mean it’s really gone poof, can’t even ask the AI to list files), have happened to me. Bad.

Did you sync this to a GitHub repo by chance? So then your code lives there and you still have a copy of it?
