Browser or Workspace unavailable

Ampere works inside a session workspace that can include the session, files, outputs, and browser sessions. Sometimes the browser preview or Workspace panel may not appear right away, may need to reload, or may show that a file preview is unavailable.

Use this article when you expected to see Ampere's browser, Workspace files, or output previews and the app does not show them yet.

Start with the current session

Open the Ampere session where the work happened and wait for the conversation to finish loading. If the session is still loading, give it a moment before you retry the same request or start a new session.

Check the session header first:

• Workspace opens the session workspace panel for files and previews.
• Outputs opens files or deliverables Ampere surfaced from the session.
• Diagnostics gives support and recovery context when the session or Workspace needs help.

If the browser preview is unavailable

Browser sessions are only useful when the task needs a live page or visual web flow. If you expected a browser but do not see one, check whether the latest prompt actually asked Ampere to open or inspect a page.

If Ampere did use a browser, try these checks:

• Open the same session again from Sessions.
• Look for a visible Live browser, browser preview, or browser-related action in the session.
• Give the page a moment to load before judging the preview.
• Check whether the site may require sign-in, block automation, load slowly, or show different content based on region or cookies.
• Ask Ampere to continue with a simpler browser step, such as opening one public URL and summarizing what is visible.

Do not ask Ampere to enter passwords, payment details, private customer data, or other sensitive information unless you intentionally want to work inside a trusted account flow and understand the risk.

If the session workspace or files are unavailable

Open Workspace from the session header. If Ampere created outputs, also open Outputs and review any file cards in the transcript.

If a preview is unavailable, try the safer options before rerunning the whole task:

• Reopen the session and select the file again.
• Use Download when the original file is available and the preview cannot render.
• Ask Ampere to summarize what it already created before asking it to regenerate the work.
• If a file moved, changed, or is still preparing, wait briefly and open it again.
• If the file type is not previewable in the session workspace, download the original and view it in the right app.

Avoid sending the same broad prompt repeatedly while a session may still be settling. That can create duplicate outputs and make it harder to know which file is current.

Use Diagnostics

Open Diagnostics when the browser, Workspace, or file preview still does not recover. Diagnostics can help support understand the specific session and session-workspace state, and it may show recovery context for the session.

Use Copy details only for support messages or internal troubleshooting. Do not add passwords, private tokens, billing details, customer data, or unrelated sensitive information to the support message.

Contact support

Contact support when:

• The same session will not reopen.
• The browser preview stays unavailable after you reopen the session.
• Workspace files or outputs are missing after the session finishes.
• A file cannot be previewed or downloaded.
• Diagnostics shows a session workspace issue you cannot resolve.

Include the session title, project name, approximate time, what you asked Ampere to do, what you expected, what you saw instead, and any Diagnostics details support requested.
