Product: Google AI Studio (Project / Code Export)
Issue: Exported zip reverts previously applied code changes
Description:
Every time a project is exported as a .zip from AI Studio, manually applied changes to source files are silently reverted. The exported archive consistently reflects an older internal snapshot of the project rather than the current state of the files, with no warning or indication that changes have been lost.
Affected files across all export cycles:
src/services/firebase.tssrc/services/dataService.tssrc/App.tsxsrc/components/MetaVendaReport.tsx
Impact:
Any fix applied outside of AI Studio — whether directly in the files or via external tooling — is lost on the next export. This forces the developer to reapply the same changes after every editing cycle in the Studio, making the workflow unviable for projects that require fine-tuned performance optimizations or customizations that the AI should not override.
Expected behavior:
AI Studio should export the current state of all project files exactly as they exist in the active session, without reverting to previous versions.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a project in AI Studio
- Manually edit one or more source files
- Export the project as a
.zip - Inspect the exported files — they reflect a prior version, not the edits made in step 2
Request:
Please investigate why the AI Studio zip exporter does not reflect the most recent file state, and consider implementing a locking mechanism or at minimum a warning when exported files differ from the last saved session state.
