Missing information

  • Open the missing-item details in Review & Generate.
  • Return to the linked builder section.
  • Fill the required typed field or selected source.
  • Check whether the related placeholder is selected in Template Validation Settings.
  • Save changes and try again.

URL and PDF problems

  • Use an exact public page instead of a homepage that does not contain the field.
  • Confirm the page does not require login or block automated reading.
  • Use a readable, text-based PDF and verify that it passes upload validation.
  • Type the information yourself when a reliable source cannot be read.
  • Never replace missing facts with guesses.

Template problems

  • Missing required placeholder: add it to the DOCX or unselect the section.
  • Unknown placeholder: correct its spelling and use only supported names.
  • Loop pair error: place opening and closing tags in the same repeating table row.
  • Unmatched braces: repair incomplete {{ or }} text.
  • No template available: choose the admin default or upload a valid personal DOCX template.

Generation and usage problems

  • Premium required: upgrade before using AI, URL/PDF enhancement, Smart Research, or AI packs.
  • Credits exhausted: renew Premium or buy an eligible Generation Pack.
  • Attempts exhausted: wait for the next Manila-day reset or use remaining pack attempts.
  • Generation in progress: wait for the current request to finish before starting another.
  • Generation disabled: an administrator has temporarily turned the feature off.

Weekly sharing problems

  • Confirm the receiver email belongs to a LikhaDocs account.
  • Check the Incoming and Sent tabs for the current transfer status.
  • A rejected or expired transfer must be sent again.
  • An accepted folder is a separate copy and will not update when the sender edits the original.
  • Use trusted JSON export and import when account-to-account transfer is not suitable.

Word document problems

  • Check the original template formatting because LikhaDocs mainly fills existing layout.
  • Review narrow table cells that visually wrap placeholders.
  • Confirm images, captions, and figure order before downloading.
  • Complete final page numbers after Microsoft Word finishes pagination.
  • Regenerate only when narrative wording must change; otherwise update saved supporting rows and download again.
