⚠️ AI Page Builder Can't Edit Compiled JavaScript Bundle Uploads (Vite/Rollup)

If you upload a website that was exported as a compiled JavaScript bundle (for example a Vite or Rollup build), the AI page builder can't edit its pages because the content and navigation are locked inside minified code. Re-export your site so the content lives in standard editable HTML, and the editor will be able to make changes.

🔍 What's Happening With Compiled Bundle Uploads

Some site exports place all of your page content and navigation inside a single minified JavaScript file (commonly named /assets/App-*.js). Each .html page is mostly empty and just loads that one bundle.

Because the actual content lives inside minified JavaScript, the AI page builder can't safely read or modify it. Previously, the builder appeared to start working and then failed silently partway through creating or editing a page.

Who Is Affected

You may see this if your site was built with a Vite/Rollup-style static site generator (SSG) that compiles every page into one shared minified bundle. Sites whose .html files contain the real markup and navigation are not affected.

What you'll see now: the upload is rejected up front with an HTTP 400 error explaining that the file type isn't supported, so you get a clear message instead of a silent failure mid-edit.

🛠️ Workaround: Upload an Editable HTML Version

Re-export or rebuild your website so the page content lives in editable HTML rather than a compiled JavaScript bundle. Then upload that version.

  1. Re-export or rebuild your site so each .html file contains the actual markup and navigation.
  2. Avoid exporting from frameworks that produce a single minified /assets/App-*.js bundle (Vite/Rollup-style SSG builds).
  3. Confirm that opening one of your .html files shows real page content and links, not just a script tag loading a bundle.
  4. Upload the editable HTML version of your site again.

Once you upload a site whose HTML contains the real content, the AI page builder can read and modify your pages and navigation as expected.

📡 Engineering Status

Our team is aware of this behavior and has added an upload check that flags compiled JavaScript bundle sites right away. Instead of a silent failure during editing, you now receive a clear HTTP 400 message explaining that the file type isn't supported, so you know to upload an editable HTML version before you start working.

📞 When to Contact Support

Reach out to our support team if:

  • You uploaded an editable HTML version of your site and the AI page builder still can't edit your pages.
  • You're unsure how to re-export your site so the content lives in standard HTML.
  • You see the HTTP 400 upload error and need help confirming what's inside your export.

Share your site export and a short description of how it was built so we can help you confirm the right format.

🌀 Our team is on it — uploads are now flagged up front, and once you provide a site with editable HTML content, the AI page builder will be able to create and edit your pages without issue.
