Libre saves as you work. Check the save status to see whether your latest changes are stored on this device or in the cloud.

​
Guest work stays in this browser

Guest drafts stay in the browser and device where you created them. Clearing site data can delete them. To use a draft on another device, save it to your account or download its source and import it there.

​
Back up and reopen the source

Open Document actions beside the animation’s name and choose Download source. The .libre.json file preserves the editable document. To reopen it, choose Import in the library and select the file.

​
Cloud saving

Animations created while signed in, and guest drafts saved to your account, sync to the cloud as you edit. Wait for cloud-save confirmation before continuing on another device. A status of locally saved, offline, or pending cloud save means the latest changes may still exist only in this browser. Cloud save not confirmed: check your connection and press ⌘/Ctrl + S to retry. Keep the tab open until saving is confirmed, or download the source before leaving. Libre cannot tell whether an unconfirmed save reached the server. For a size error, see Cloud document size. For a different version saved elsewhere, see Multiple tabs and conflicts.
  • The document format was rejected or the editor is out of date: download the source, reload Libre, then try saving again.
  • Saving is temporarily limited: wait a minute and retry. Keep your source backup until cloud saving is confirmed.

​
Saving on this device fails

Keep the document open and Download source before leaving. After downloading, check that your browser allows site storage and your device has free space, then try saving again. Do not clear site data before backing up your work.

​
Cloud document size

The saved document, including images, must fit 10 MB (10,000,000 bytes). If it is too large, download the source, then remove unneeded layers or images until cloud saving resumes. Editing can continue, but the latest changes stay on this device only if local saving succeeds. Other devices have the last version that fit. The import limit is larger, so a file can import successfully and still be too large for cloud saving.

​
Multiple tabs and conflicts

Work on an animation in one tab at a time. Wait for cloud-save confirmation before switching to another tab or device. When another version has been saved to the cloud, Libre pauses editing. Choose Download local work to back up the version in your tab, then choose:
  • Save my copy: save your local changes as a separate animation and continue there. Wait for its save confirmation.
  • Load latest version: replace the version in your tab with the cloud version.
If the message says the editor is out of date, download your local work before reloading Libre.

​
Recover an earlier version

For recent edits, use Undo (⌘/Ctrl + Z) or History → Recent edits. For a cloud-saved version:
  1. Download the current source as a backup.
  2. Open History → Versions and select a version to preview.
  3. Choose Restore this version, then wait for it to save. Choose Return to current to leave without restoring.
You can also copy a layer from the preview, return to the current document, and paste it. Cloud versions cannot recover guest drafts deleted with browser data. If the document will not open, follow Source file cannot open.
