Hi, I am new to Node-red. I am trying to create Dash Board. But when I select Layout nothing is visible in the Layout editor. Earlier I was able to see & change the layout. Can any one guide me what is wrong? I have already tried with deleting cookies & changing the browsers.

Have you added any dashboard nodes to your flow?

- What version of node-red, node.js and the dashboard are you running? (You can get all that information from the startup log)
- what device are you running on?
- can you export your flow and attach it o a reply

I am using Node-RED v2.2.2.  
Dashboard: node-red-contrib-mdashboard 2.19.4-beta.  
I am running it on my Linux cloud Ubuntu operating system.

How are you trying to access the dashboard, what do you actually type into the browser? If you use something like 192.168.1.45:1008/ui it will not work because you are using node-red-contrib-mdashboard and that uses a different address. Go read the install section which explains the syntax: [node-red-contrib-mdashboard (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-mdashboard)

In addition you should note the node hasn’t been updated in over two years and issues should be addressed to the author on the nodes GitHub ‘issues’ page.
