Working with data

Save and manage projects

Autosave, local export, and encrypted cloud save — three save paths that capture your dataset, canvas, instructions, and agent history together. Pick the one that matches how portable and how shared you need the project to be.

What a project contains #

  • Source dataset(s) and all metadata edits.
  • Workspace items: tables, charts, notes, layout positions, groups, tags.
  • Dataset instructions and agent conversation history.
  • Encryption preferences.

Autosave #

  • Recense autosaves to browser storage every 30 seconds.
  • Autosave provides crash recovery even before you explicitly save.
  • Autosaved projects are available when you return to the same browser.

Local file export #

  • Export a .recense file from the Project Manager.
  • These files are portable — open them on any machine.
  • Optional encryption for exported files.

Cloud save (Pro) #

  • Save projects to encrypted cloud storage.
  • Projects are encrypted on your machine before upload — Recense servers never see unencrypted data.
  • Cloud projects require a passphrase. If lost, cloud projects created with it cannot be recovered.
  • Upload datasets to cloud storage for access from other devices.

Project Manager #

The Project Manager lets you:

  • Save and open local or cloud projects.
  • Rename, delete, or export saved projects.
  • Upload datasets to cloud storage.
  • Manage encryption settings and export your encryption key.
