Getting started

Saving and managing projects

How autosave works, where projects are stored, how to switch, delete, back up and import projects, and what happens if you clear your browser.

Arcvelle Studio saves your project automatically as you work. Projects are stored in this browser on this device, using the browser's own storage. There are no accounts or cloud saving yet, so a project you make on one computer does not appear on another unless you move it yourself.

Steps

  1. Watch the status next to the project name: Saving… while a change is being written, then Saved.
  2. Open the Projects panel to see every project under Saved in this browser, with its room and item count and the date it was last changed.
  3. Click a project to open it. Click Refresh if the list looks out of date.
  4. To delete a project, click the bin icon on its row. You cannot delete the project that is open.
  5. To back up a project, click Export in the top bar and download Project file (JSON).
  6. To restore or move a project, click Import .json in the Projects panel and choose the file. It opens as a new project.

Tips and limits

  • Projects are saved in this browser only. A different browser, a private window or another device will not see them.
  • If you clear this site's data in your browser settings, the projects stored here are deleted with it. Export a JSON file of anything you want to keep.
  • If an imported file contains damaged or unknown parts, Arcvelle imports the rest and tells you how many elements were left out.
  • A shared presentation link also contains the whole design. Opening it and choosing Open in Studio makes an editable copy. See Presentations and tours.
