# FAQ and troubleshooting

FAQ and troubleshooting [#faq-and-troubleshooting]

Find your problem below; each answer links to the page that covers it in full.

A connector asks me to sign in again [#a-connector-asks-me-to-sign-in-again]

You see **Authentication required** with &#x2A;*Connect your account for:** and the connector's name, or the connector shows **Connect** or **Reconnect**.

* The connector signs each person in with their own account, and yours is missing or has expired.
* The agent carries on without that connector, so its answer may be missing data from it.
* Select **Connect*&#x2A; next to the connector in the message box's &#x2A;*+** > **Connectors** menu, or **Reconnect** under **Connect an app to get started**, and sign in. Then send your message again.

See [Reconnect a connector](/docs/platform/connectors/reconnect).

My credits ran out, or my trial ended [#my-credits-ran-out-or-my-trial-ended]

Sending a message opens **You have used this period's credits**, **Your free trial has ended** or **Your plan has ended**.

* Open **Settings** > **Usage & Limits** to see when your credits renew.
* When a free trial ends, you move to the **Free** plan the next time you use Alomana, where your deployment offers it.
* If the note &#x2A;*You've used your credits. Until *date*, you can use limited models only.** appears instead, you can keep chatting on the models it allows until that date.

See [Usage and limits](/docs/platform/account/usage-and-limits) and [Manage your plan and billing](/docs/platform/account/billing).

A model is locked or missing [#a-model-is-locked-or-missing]

* Picking a model that opens **Model not available on your plan** means your plan does not include it. Pick another model, or change plan.
* A model that does not appear at all was turned off by an admin of your workspace or organization.

See [Choose a model](/docs/platform/chat/models#locked-and-missing-models).

An agent is missing from the agent list [#an-agent-is-missing-from-the-agent-list]

An agent that was never published is a draft. Outside its editor's **Test** chat, nobody can chat with it, @-mention it, schedule it, use it from Slack or Teams, or make it the workspace's default agent.

* Open its editor from the **Agents** page and select **Publish**.
* **Publish** is shown only to roles that may publish: **Editor** and **Admin** by default. If you are a **Member**, ask one of them.

See [Test and publish an agent](/docs/platform/agents/test-and-publish).

The agent did not see my file [#the-agent-did-not-see-my-file]

The chat shows your attachment either way, but not every file reaches the model directly.

* Spreadsheets, CSV files, presentations and SVG images never go to the model as they are. The agent gets a copy it can open with code.
* Images and PDFs go to the model only when the model in use accepts them; otherwise the agent gets a copy too.
* Ask the agent to open the file, or pick a model that reads images and PDFs.

See [Work with files in a chat](/docs/platform/chat/files-and-attachments#what-the-agent-reads-and-how).

My scheduled task paused itself [#my-scheduled-task-paused-itself]

The task's **Next run** shows **Paused after failures**: it failed several runs in a row (five, unless your deployment changed it).

1. On the **Scheduler** page, read the reason shown under the status in the task's **Last run** column.
2. Fix the cause, for example reconnect a connector the task uses.
3. Select **Resume*&#x2A; in the task's &#x2A;*⋮** menu.

See [How scheduled runs work](/docs/platform/scheduler/how-runs-work).

My invite never arrived [#my-invite-never-arrived]

* If you already had an account, you were added to the workspace straight away: look for it in the **Workspace** menu at the top of the sidebar. The email only tells you about it.
* If you are new, the invitation link works for 7 days. Check your spam folder.
* Sign in with the exact email address the invite was sent to. Invites waiting for that address are accepted when your account is created, even without the link.
* If the link expired, ask the workspace admin to invite you again.

See [Members and invites](/docs/platform/admin/workspace/members-and-invites).

I see "No workspace yet" [#i-see-no-workspace-yet]

Your account is not allowed to create a workspace of its own, and nobody has added you to one yet. Ask your administrator to invite you, then select **Check again**.

See [Manage your workspaces](/docs/platform/account/workspaces).

A page is missing from the sidebar [#a-page-is-missing-from-the-sidebar]

* Select **More** in the sidebar: **Agents**, **Scheduler**, **Apps**, **Library**, **Connectors** and the rest are under it.
* **Scheduler** appears only where your deployment has it switched on, and **Workflows** only when your role may read workflows.
* An administrator can hide sidebar entries for everyone.

See [Get started with Alomana](/docs/platform/get-started/first-steps#the-home-screen).

A shared chat is read-only [#a-shared-chat-is-read-only]

**This chat is read-only — its agent isn't available in your workspace.** means the chat was shared with you, but you cannot use its agent in your current workspace. You can read it but not continue it; start a new chat instead.

See [Share and collaborate](/docs/platform/chat/share-and-collaborate).

Billing is missing from Settings [#billing-is-missing-from-settings]

You belong to an organization, which gives you a seat instead of a personal plan. Ask an admin of your organization about your seat.

See [Manage your plan and billing](/docs/platform/account/billing).

Send feedback [#send-feedback]

Tell the Alomana team about something broken or confusing from inside the app.

1. Select your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Send feedback**.

   <img alt="The profile menu with Theme, Settings, Send feedback, Learn more and Logout" src="__img0" />

2. Describe what happened. Paste the address of the page if it helps.

3. To add screenshots, paste them, drag them onto the dialog, or select &#x2A;*Add images (paste, drag, or click)**.

4. Select **Send**.
