Hi!
I am new to Baserow and I just started using it. I created two databases with two tables each. Everything worked fine and I created four views in each of the big tables in each database. After creating them, they worked all fine and I also and set bookmarks in my web browser for them. I also created a snapshot of each database in this functional state with all the views.
But now, all of a sudden, all my views are gone from the big tables in each of my two databases. They disappeared from the view selection completely and I had to create a new one to even be able to my data again. When using my bookmarks, it says “View with id (some number) is not found.” Strangely enough, the small tables still have their views. I restored the snapshots and they don’t have the views either. Are views backed up in snapshots too or only data?
What could have happened? Has this happened to anyone else before?
Hello @Kryptonian, welcome to the Baserow community 
Which plan are you on? Do you have access to the Audit Log? Do you have collaborators working with you on these databases?
It’s unlikely that those views just disappeared, so I’m trying to understand what might have happened.
P.S.: I also wanted to add that I just checked the trash and it says there that nothing has been deleted within the last 3 days.
Hello @olgatrykush!
Thanks for the welcome.
I am on the free plan, so by default all my databases and views are collaborative. But I do not have any collaborators for my databases and views so far, so no one else but me is working on these databases. AFAIK the Audit Log is a paid feature, so I do not have access to the Audit Log.
The views were there for a few days, they did not disappear immediately after creating them. I accessed them a couple of times from my computer and from my smartphone. But then, all of a sudden, they were gone.
Are views normally also backed up in snapshots? I just noticed that I can also back up views separately in CSV format in the free plan. I already backed up my database in CSV format but I missed to back up my views in CSV format, so I guess I will have to re-create them.
Thanks for the additional details. I’ve sent you a DM so we can verify a few account-specific details privately.
