Hi Filipe,

So I tried this again and here is what I did (I'm on macOS):
* drag-and-dropped the example files attached to your email to a folder
* marked both of them, right-clicked and selected "Compress files" that created an "Archive.zip"
* created a fresh project in INCEpTION using the "Basic annotation (span/relation)" template
* Clicked on "import documents"
* Selected "brat (basic)"
* Selected the "Archive.zip" file and imported
* Clicked on "dashboard"
* Opened the annotation page
I did not make any changes to the files.

My suspicion is that that either of two things happened on your side (I suspect you might be using Windows):
1) there is a platform-specific behavior in my brat reader code that works differently on your operating system than on mine
2) you opened the text file with an editor that changed line endings - the file attached to your mail uses unix-style line feeds (LF)
So I used the command "unix2dos" to convert the line endings in the sample text file from your mail to Windows/DOS line endings (CRLF),
repeated my process of zipping the data up and importing it.
Now I also get the error you reported in your mail:
```
Unable to load annotations: Start position of range [262-272] is not part of any visible row. In a sentence-based editor, this is most likely caused by annotations outside sentences.
```
Could you please verify that when you compress and import exactly the files you attached to your mail without intermediate editing you get the same error?
If yes, I need to go looking for the bug on my side.
If no, the problem should be resolved.
Cheers,
