Bug Report: “Publish/Export/Clone” Buttons Not Appearing – Even on New Questionnaire I Own

Hello Survey Solutions Support Team,

I’m experiencing an issue in the Designer interface where the top-right action buttons — specifically Publish, Export, Clone, and Download PDF — are not appearing, even though:


:test_tube: What I’ve Tested So Far

  • :white_check_mark: I am the owner of the questionnaire (confirmed under My Questionnaires).
  • :white_check_mark: I created a new dummy questionnaire called Test - Button Visibility, with just one text question.
  • :white_check_mark: I compiled it successfully — no errors.
  • :cross_mark: Yet, none of the usual post-compilation buttons appear in the editor interface.

:repeat_button: Session Isolation Tests

I’ve also done the following to eliminate session/cache issues:

  • Opened Incognito window in Chrome → logged in again → same issue.
  • Cleared all cookies & cache in Chrome → issue persists.
  • Tried it on another browser → same result.

:framed_picture: Screenshot Attached

I’ve attached a screenshot of my My Questionnaires view showing the new test questionnaire created under my account:

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Request

Could you please investigate whether this is:

  • A Designer UI bug,
  • A permissions glitch affecting my account, or
  • A server-side issue affecting button rendering?

Let me know if you need any additional logs or steps from my side.

Best regards,

I don’t see the screenshot illustrating the problem and I am not familiar with the Publish button.
