A Bitácora file (.bitacora) is a copy of a project: its screens, notes, guides, to-dos and its flow. Use it to keep the project somewhere else, move it to another workspace or have a copy before a big change.
Download a project
- In Projects, open the ⋯ menu on its card, or right-click it.
- Click Download Bitácora file.
- Bitácora prepares it and the download starts on its own.
Open it
- Drop the file onto Projects, or click New project and choose Open a Bitácora file.
- If you like, give it a different Name.
- Click Open project. You'll see Uploading the file and then Opening the project….
It comes in as a new project, even if you still have the original: it never replaces another one.
What travels and what doesn't
| Travels | Doesn't travel |
|---|---|
| Screens, notes, runs, guides, to-dos and the flow | The captures (they are made again on their own) |
| The text of each note | The audio of voice notes |
| The version history, the client and the payments |
Troubleshooting
- "This file did not come from Bitácora, or it was modified": only files downloaded from Bitácora and left untouched can be opened. Just any ZIP, or a
.bitacorathat was opened and compressed again, won't go in. - "The file is over 300 MB": that is the maximum size of a Bitácora file.
- You reached your plan's project limit: opening a file counts as one more project. Archive one or change plans.
- The studio reached its storage limit: the opened project takes up disk space. Delete a project or empty the trash to make room.
- You don't see Download Bitácora file: downloading requires the Can run with AI role.
