How to backup my LiveCode Create web project
This article will show you how to download a LiveCode Create project from your web browser and save a copy on your desktop. You can then re-import this local copy into your web workspace at a later date. You will also learn how to save data from your project to a csv file and re-import this later for use in the cloud.
Open Your Workspace
Click the three dots
In the dropdown menu after clicking on the three dots, select "Export to Classic".
Save your layout
Choose somewhere to save it, give it a name and save. Note, if you have more than one layout, each layout will be saved separately. You will be prompted to save each layout.
Import back into Create Web
To import your project back into Create on the Web, click "Import from Classic". Navigate to where you saved your layouts and import your first layout.
Add further layouts to your import
Under the main Create menu (1) click on "Import Stackfile..." (2).
Navigate to the layout you want to add and click Open. Note, your project will be saved with the same filename as your first layout. If you want to change that, you can go to My Projects, click the three dots on your project and choose "Rename".
Save your data
If you have data you have been using in your project, you can export and save this to your desktop also.
Go into your Collections tab (1) and click on View Records (2).
Click on Export. Save as a csv file.
Re-import your data
To import the data again, click on + New Collection, name the data and click Continue.
On the next screen, choose "Build from CSV.
Locate your data file and click Open.

Hello Daniel, I think you have Create Native rather than Create Cloud, so you would not see the online workspace.
