When I try to restore earlier versions in the `v0` UI, none of them work. **Error seen on restore:** > **Failed to sync PREVIEW to SHA <…>: SHA <…> is not available and could not be fetched from remote** ## Context * **Project Connection:** Connected to GitHub. * **Workflow:** No work was done outside `v0` (no local commits, no force pushes on my side). * **GitHub State:** I can see commits/branches in GitHub (created by `v0`), but `v0` can’t restore to specific `SHA` identifiers. * **Incidents:** I’m aware there has been an incident with elevated error rates — unsure if this is related. ## What I’ve Tried 1. Restoring multiple versions in the `v0` version dropdown — all fail. 2. Restoring older generations from chat history — also fails. ## Questions * Is there any known workaround to restore a broken `v0` project when the commit `SHA` isn’t fetchable? * Can `v0` “lose” reachability to commits (e.g., force-push/rebase internally) so prior `SHA`s become unavailable? * What steps does the team recommend to recover a “last known good” state reliably? If it helps, I can share screenshots or the exact `SHA` and branch naming pattern (I’m just not sure what’s safe to post publicly). Thanks in advance — any pointers appreciated. Pauline P. Narvas (@pawlean) · 2026-02-08 · ♥ 1 Hey, @andrewlee07! Sorry to hear you're experiencing this - I can definitely understand how frustrating it must be to have your project break like this, especially after investing so much time and money into building it. Thanks for sharing all those detailed steps and context! That's really helpful for understanding what's happening. To help the team investigate this issue, could you share your v0 chat link? It will look something like `https://v0.dev/chat/...` - this is essential for us to dig into what went wrong with the generation and the restore process. Let us know how you get on!

Andrewlee07 (@andrewlee07) · 2026-02-10 How do I share the chat link? matthew knight (@reconstrukt) · 2026-02-10 Same problem here. Was editing a JSON content file directly in the file editor, working in preview mode. V0 was *not* pushing updates to the repo. Navigated away from the tab for a moment, came back, V0 reloaded, and I got hit with > \*\*Failed to sync PREVIEW to SHA <…>: SHA <…> is not available and could not be fetched from remote\*\* And now I can’t load anything. Lost several hours of work (because again, V0 is not pushing to the remote on change of any files in the editor), and now I can’t load that branch at all in the chat to continue working. Pretty bad. Here’s the chat: https://v0.app/chat/code-update-hyqMq6yEbmS Pauline P. Narvas (@pawlean) · 2026-02-10 Thank you for sharing, folks! We hear you. We shipped some fixes yesterday, and working through some more today. We also have been affected by several GitHub incidents which have caused a lot of these issues.
