Stuck in an edit loop

Every time I make a change to my app in the designer, after I make an edit I get an error message

‘Edit failed, you’re viewing an old version of the app - you shouldn’t be able to edit it! This page will now refresh’

And the page reloads and any changes I’ve made are discarded. I’ve tried shutting it down and restarting it, but can’t get past it.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Ignore, this I used version control to get past it.

For others, who may be reading this later, and need a bit more detail…?

I’m guessing that you deliberately switched to the prior commit, and made it current. Did you have to do anything else?

To be perfectly honest I’m not entirely sure how I switched. I’m not a developer I’m a beginner and I don’t find Git and version control particularly inutitive, but I think I just clicked on the most recent version before the changes I made and it got me out of the loop I was in. Sorry I can’t be of more help, but as I said I don’t entriely know what I’m doing and I’m just muddling through.

You accidentally clicked on a previous branch that made you view it. I make this mistake sometimes as well.

If it happens again in the future, just click on the branch that has the master label.

Yes, I believe that’s exactly what I was doing in retrospect.,
