I edit a component on my homepage via Experience Manager and then click "Finish Editing".
The message bar at the top of my screen goes:
Committing all changes...
And then:
All changes have been committed
The preview pane then sits on "loading" for a while, before I get:
The input data was invalid: Variant id of the request url must be equal to the one of the odata entity., Variant id of the request url must be equal to the one of the odata entity., Variant id of the request url must be equal to the one of the odata entity.
What is this error, and how do I fix it?
Edit
Not the original poster, but I've seen this issue in my environment as well, excerpt from my Preview logs below:
