Everything you make is kept in My Library. Without an account, it's saved in this browser on this device.Signed in, it's also saved to your account, and on every device where you sign in.
Save a Project
A dot on Project, at the top of the Project Planner, means the project isn't saved yet. Press Project, then Save Project (or ⌘ Cmd/Ctrl + s). It needs a place, dates and weather first. From then on, changes save automatically, and the icon on Project shows where it's saved:
- a screen: Saved in this browser, on this device only.
- a cloud: Saved to your account, and synced to your devices.
To name it, press the pencil beside its name above the Project Planner. A project without a name is called by its place and dates.
Browsers can clear what sites have saved, especially on phones and in private windows.Signing in keeps a copy in your account. Keeping your projects safe.
The Project Menu
Press Project at the top of the Project Planner (or .):
- Download: the PDF, preview image, Google Sheet or weather data. Download.
- Share: Copy Link, and the project's gallery page. Gallery & Ravelry.
- Palettes: each gauge's colors, to save to My Palettes, download or copy.
- Project: New Project, Open…, Duplicate (a copy, leaving this one as it is) and Move to Trash.
- Getting Started, Keyboard Shortcuts, Guides & Help and Contact.
Starting a new project or opening another asks first if this one has unsaved changes.
My Library
Open My Library in the site menu. It has two sides, Projects and Yarn Palettes, each a list of cards.
- Press a card to open it.
- Its ⋮ menu has Edit in Project Planner, Duplicate, sharing, and Move to Trash. The pencil renames it.
- Search, sort (Recent or Name), switch the view, and filter by yarn, whether it's published, or (for projects) pattern.
To open a project without leaving the Project Planner, press Project, then Open… (or ⌘ Cmd/Ctrl + o), and search for it.
A project's link opens it anywhere, too: paste it into your browser's address bar. A link is a copy. Changes made from it don't change yours, and the weather is looked up again (edited weather isn't included).
Starred
Signed in, switch Mine to Starred above the list to see the gallery pages you've starred, sorted by Recently starred, Newest published or Most viewed. About stars.
Trash
Move to Trash doesn't delete right away. Press Trash in My Library to see what's there for 30 days: Restore it, or Delete Forever. Empty Trash deletes everything in it.
A project or palette with a gallery page takes its page with it: the page is hidden while it's in the Trash, comes back when you restore it, and is removed for good when it's deleted forever.
Undo and Redo
Undo any change to a project, or to a palette in the Yarn Palette Creator, with Undo and Redo at the top of the page.
