    Hey Kane S., does the issue persist when you try from a different browser on your laptop?

    Hi there, Kane S., thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Have you tried previewing these files from a different browser or a private browsing window, to see if you get a different behavior?

     

    Let me know what you find.

      Hi. No such issues when viewing on phone. Have cleared cache on laptop but same result.
