Save and back up your bead projects.
PinDo’s maker tools save locally in the browser and site address you use. A portable backup gives you a copy you control when changing browsers or devices.
Know what a local save means
Saved patterns, private charts, bead quantities, making progress, notes, and creator preparation are stored in the local maker library. Clearing browser data removes this copy. A different domain or browser has a separate library, even when it displays the same PinDo site.
Choose the export for the job
A PNG is a readable chart. A CSV is a materials list. A pattern JSON carries one chart. A library backup carries saved charts and broader library data. Online creator records and reviewer files have separate formats and do not become whole-library restore files.
Save unfinished work before making a backup
The library backup includes saved Studio changes, not unsaved edits or source images. Save the design first and check that it appears in My projects. Keep private preparation and permission notes in a private location when storing the exported file.
Review a restore before applying it
PinDo previews incoming library data and protects existing work from outdated restore previews. Restore in an isolated browser when checking a backup. Keep your earlier export until you have verified the restored designs, inventory, and progress you expected.
