Save / load workspace

Save your lab results on this server for 48 hours. Use the token to continue on another device. Anyone who knows the token can open your workspace.

Save workspace

A name is required when you first save and is then permanently bound to this workspace. Task values, entries and progress are saved together.

Load workspace

New workspace

Start with empty results and a name of your choice. Previously saved tokens remain valid until they expire. Unsaved changes in this tab will be discarded.

Saving also transfers any included measurement files and analysis videos to this server. Running simulations are saved as a set of results and displayed in a paused state when loaded.
