Describe the bug

HI @artf,

I am currently implementing an editor with grapesjs in which it is possible to add chapters alongside the already existing pages. I implemented a ChapterStorage that implements the IStorableModule to store the chapters in the project data. My question is what is the best way to let the UndoManager track the changes made to the chapters? Is it necessary to extend the ItemManagerModule in some way?

Thanks for reporting this, @rhoenerSBS.

The issue with [Question]: Track custom storable with UndoManager appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.

What to try:

  1. Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
  // your operation here
}, 0);
  1. Check initialization order — make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them

  2. Use the editor's event system — listen to completion events:

editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
  // safe to interact with component here
});

Recommended next steps:

  • Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
  • Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) — this helps the team identify the root cause faster
  • Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
