Hello everybody, i have trying to localhost:1880/ui but i can´t see my demo simple graph, because i see always screen with "Welcome to the Node-RED Dashboard" "Please add some UI nodes to your flow and redeploy." It installed in W64 and i have tested in IE, Firefox and Chrome.  
I start localhost:1880 without any problems.

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the forum @Antonio1

Can you stop node-red and then start it again in a terminal and post the full startup log here. That may tell us something useful. Copy/paste please rather than screenshot.

## You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

Could you try something please?

Open the dashboard then open your browser devtools (normally f12) and copy any messages and errors that appear in the console please.

Next, try removing all dashboard elements including all dashboard config nodes. Then deploy. Then add a standard dashboard item (like text or form) then deploy.

If that works then remove those items and re-add your old ones.

Sorry if this is a very basic question...

Have you installed the dashboard nodes via Manage Palette ???

Is this an old problem that I seem to remember from a little while ago where things got confused if a ui node (such as ui\_led) was installed before node-red-dashboard itself?

If so then I think @Steve-Mcl's suggestion should fix it.

Your problem is that somehow you have disabled the dashboard tab for that flow

Notice how the tab is a light grey. Hit the `edit` button next to it and you will see

Click the `State` switch and you will see it switch from 'Disabled' to 'Enabled' save it and redeploy and you should be all set.
