Hi @reke1608, welcome to the forums! πŸ‘‹πŸΏ We’re glad you’re here. :netliconfetti: First, have you looked through [this resource 7](https://answers.netlify.com/t/support-guide-compiled-build-and-deploy-resources-start-here/50679)? It is a compilation of all of our build and deploy resources. This is a good starting point for all build and deploy related questions and debugging. If those resources don’t get you on the right track, can you share a bit more information about what you are trying to accomplish? Lastly, please share these additional details so we can look into your experience further: - the name of your build instance: β€œ[example-jones.netlify.com 1](http://example-jones.netlify.com/)” - your project repo - a full copy of your latest deploy log - what you have already tried - any error messages you have received in your terminal window or in the developer console Thank you so much! πŸ₯° ---
