Hello @Cathie , I really appreciate your efforts in sharing this detailed information.
Looks like this is a known behavior. The OpenAI studio is a development tool and environment that does not maintain state across sessions. If you want to use "on your data", you should configure the data elements and deploy the web app for use within your enterprise. Once that is done, your development tasks are complete, and the web app is deployed. When we leave the studio and come back, it will have no memory of your previous activities, nor will it retain any configurations you have created.
Therefore, whoever deploys the app should save the URL of the deployed app and can share it to use the deployed app. The studio does not retain that data.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Vasavi
