Project¶
Use the application to open, save and export the complete analysis. The shared Project stage explains what belongs in a project; data formats explains its folder and archive representations.
Saving in the browser
Check the project location before closing the app. In this browser only means the project is in browser storage; use Save project as… to keep an external copy. Browser-specific saving explains folders, archives and downloads.

What is saved¶
Saving writes the project state and measured data, including the selected analysis settings. Values are rounded according to the project's precision and uncertainty policy. The open project is updated to those saved values and its calculated pattern and agreement factors are recalculated from them.
A report is separate: saving a project does not create a fresh report. Use Save report to update a document you intend to share.
A project can read measured data from files outside its folder. On Project → Extra, expand Data on save to choose what a save does with them: copy every file into the project, keep linked files linked, or ask on every save. The choice is kept for this project's folder. Until you choose, a save copies the data when it is small (up to 20 files and 50 MB) and keeps larger data linked.
Browser file handling¶
| Browser workflow | What Save does | How to keep a separate copy |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome or Edge, project opened from a selected folder or archive | Writes back to that selected location when access is available | Save project as… chooses a folder or archive |
| Firefox or Safari | Saves the browser-held project | Save project as… downloads a zip copy |
| An example or new project in any browser | Initially keeps the project in browser storage | Save project as… exports a zip copy |
| A private window without persistent storage | The project may exist only in the current tab | Export with Save project as… before closing |
The location In this browser only means that browser storage is holding your project. Browsers can clear that storage; keep a copy on your computer for work you need to retain.
