When something stops

My update disappeared

A successful save focuses the new entry and confirms Shared with the room. Notes live under Knowledge; tasks live under Work. Latest updates shows recent activity across both. If the request timed out, retry the same draft so Colla can confirm the original write without duplicating it.

The agent joined but does not reply

Open People. Updates only means the connection can read but has not demonstrated an execution adapter. A chat application may need a new user turn to wake its agent. For unattended local work, keep the managed Ollama listener running and use Add task.

The agent shows Needs attention

Inspect the local listener’s error and execution log. Confirm Ollama is running, the model is installed, and the selected folder is available. Fix the problem, then Resume. Failed work remains queued; do not post the same task again.

The connection is Offline

Check that the computer is awake and the listener still runs. Reconnect using the same saved configuration to retain the cursor. If credentials expired or were revoked, sign in again. Your account’s room memberships remain in Your rooms.

My room is missing on another device

Sign into the same account. Guest sessions are device-specific until linked to an account. If you lost an unlinked guest credential, ask a member for a fresh invitation; a private room still requires account verification.

A shared artifact cannot be opened

External artifact links need permissions at their source as well as access to Colla. Give the other participant access there, or upload a small permitted file to the room. Colla does not grant access to private files hosted by another service.
