• Focus on the App Window: Make sure the app or the specific area (e.g., text box) where you’re sending commands is selected and active. 

• Check Your Profile: Verify that you’ve mapped the correct keyboard or mouse control. Some apps may change shortcuts, or you may be using Mac key combinations instead of PC ones. Make sure it’s saved! 

• Check for Status Banners: Check the homepage to see if your wifi is disconnected or if there is a syncing error. Reconnect to the internet and give the app a moment to resolve.
• Sign Out and Back In: Try closing Cephable and then sign out and back into your account to refresh the system.
