Hi, I'm new. I have a repository inside my workspace, but it doesn't appear when I access the workspace via the UI. Access to the repository itself is still working fine, so I suspect this might be a display bug. Any help would be appreciated.

If you can still clone, pull, and access the repository directly via its full URL, your git repository itself and backend permissions are intact. This specific UI glitch in Bitbucket Cloud usually happens when the workspace search index or local browser cache desynchronizes from the repository management table.

Here are a few steps to resolve it:

Clear Workspace Filter and Project Grouping: Ensure your repository list is not being filtered by a specific Project, Language, or "Only my repositories" view. Bitbucket sometimes defaults to a collapsed project group where newly created or unassigned repositories are pushed into an "Ungrouped" section at the bottom.

Verify User vs. Group Permission Inheritance: Navigate to Repository settings > User and group access via the direct repository link. If your account has explicit repository-level admin access but your workspace group lacks read permissions on the parent project, the repository will function via direct URL while remaining hidden on the workspace listing.

Check Client-Side Cache and Local Storage: Deep caching on browser service workers can prevent the repository list from polling newly populated JSON responses. We encountered a similar front-end state rendering bug when dynamic state tables were failing to update after asset recalculations on this tool, where clearing stored session state and service workers immediately forced a clean DOM hydration.

If toggling the project assignment under Repository Settings still does not force the workspace index to refresh, making a small commit or editing the repository description will often trigger a webhook that updates the workspace registry.

Hello @javatunix 

First please go through this KB Articlehttps://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/kb/my-repositories-are-missing-and-i-cannot-see-them-in-the-repository-list/ 

Do steps from there and we can go from here.

Just a quick update: I had checked all these points before, and they weren't showing up. However, everything has now appeared!

The first thing I did was check the origin on my local machine to make sure I wasn't looking at the wrong place. But it's working perfectly fine now.

Thank you all very much for your time and help!

So that was probably just a temporary hiccup. It happens.

Glad now all working as it should :)

Have a great Day. :)
