Repeated error due to v0 overwriting fixes

[kingdripprod-5318 (Seth)]

Hi V0 team,

I’ve been developing on V0 and recently purchased additional credits to continue my work.

However, I’m consistently hitting a major issue that’s wasting a significant amount of time and credits:

V0 keeps generating broken imports like:

The “/components/workflow-navigation” module does not provide an export named “WorkflowNavigation”.

This happens even when:

• The file exists and was just fixed

• V0 previously used a default export, but now expects a named one

• The component name was **renamed or overwritten by V0
  **

The problem isn’t just the error itself — it’s the constant back-and-forth rework. I fix one, V0 regenerates a new bad import. I fix that, another one breaks. It completely disrupts development flow, and when you’re on a paid credit system, that’s real cost adding up.

---

The Pattern:

1. I build a working flow.

2. V0 creates or modifies a component file.

3. It auto-generates an incorrect import/export.

4. App crashes.

5. I fix manually.

6. Repeat

Again, I’m loving the potential of V0 — but this issue alone is consuming a disproportionate amount of my dev time and paid credits, which should instead go toward building out real features.

I’m happy to provide example files or repo snapshots if needed.

Thanks again,

Hi, Seth!

I get how frustrating it is when v0 overwrites your fixes or generates incorrect imports.

Try being explicit in prompts about preserving existing component and export structures, and make smaller, incremental changes to avoid full rewrites.

For import/export issues, keep patterns consistent (all default or all named) and mention this in your prompt if v0 changes them. You can also review suggestions in the preview before applying, use “Edit” for small tweaks, and save working versions before making changes.

If this keeps happening, sharing examples with the v0 team can help improve the model’s consistency.
