I’m having a problem: the save and publish buttons aren’t appearing for my org.
My Grafana version is Grafana v13.0.1+security-01 (9bbe672d1), and the plugin version is 2.12.0 (installed).
It’s installed on a Windows Server.
The Save/Publish buttons require the block editor to be unlocked via dev mode, AND enable_alpha = true in grafana.ini. On Docker, the easiest way is to pass the env var at container start:
-e "GF_PLUGINS_ENABLE_ALPHA=true"
Then access the editor at:
http://your-grafana/a/grafana-pathfinder-app?dev=true
According to plugin readme on self-hosted/OSS installs, the backend Save/Publish to App Platform availability is not sure. so you can save by
Build your guide in the block editor
Use the dropdown → Download JSON to export
Use Import from the same dropdown to reload it
Guides are managed as JSON files on self-hosted, not saved to a backend. This is by design per the plugin’s source → the App Platform save path works on Grafana Cloud.
