Save and Reopen ​

Projects are stored on your account. You can save a project at any time, close the tab, and reopen later to continue where you left off.

How saving works ​

There are two paths:

  • Manual save — use the Save button in the toolbar. Saves immediately.
  • Autosave — runs in the background every few seconds after a change. Silent.

Both save the full project state:

  • background image and crop
  • scale
  • all layers, nodes, edges, facets
  • edge classifications and facet pitches
  • project info (name, address, preparer)
  • status

Save indicators ​

During save:

  • the Save button may show a spinner
  • a toast notification appears on success or failure

If a save fails, the error is shown. Check your internet connection and try again.

Reopen a project ​

Click Open project in the toolbar. A list of your saved projects appears with:

  • project name (falls back to a default if not set)
  • address from project info
  • last modified date
  • status (new / in progress / completed)

Open Project modal with saved projects

Click a row to open the project. If the current workspace has unsaved changes, confirm the reset first.

Reset to a new project ​

Click New project in the toolbar. If a project is already open, a confirmation dialog appears:

  • Accept → the current project is saved and a blank workspace opens.
  • Cancel → nothing changes.

Delete a project ​

In the Open Project list, each row has a delete icon (trash). A confirmation dialog appears before deletion.

Important

Deletion is permanent. Make sure you have generated any needed reports first.

Tips ​

  • Save a checkpoint manually before major changes (restructuring layers, large geometry edits).
  • Autosave doesn't replace manual discipline — if you want a stable snapshot, save explicitly.
  • If you lose internet during work, changes remain in the browser. Reconnect, then save.
  • Use meaningful project names and set the address — it makes the list searchable.

Common issues ​

Project didn't save ​

  • Check the connection. A toast notification usually shows the exact error.
  • Try again — autosave will retry automatically.

Open Project list is empty ​

  • You may be signed into the wrong account.
  • The server might be unreachable. Check your connection.

Opened the wrong project and lost my work ​

If you saved your previous project before opening another, your work is on the server — click Open project again and pick the original. Autosave also preserves unsaved changes in most cases, but manual save before switching is always safer.
