Can I move my tool work to another computer?
Yes, but you move it yourself with a file. Subthesis doesn't sync tool data between computers or browsers, because there are no accounts and your work is saved only in your browser.
Steps
- On the computer that has your work, open the tool and choose its JSON export button, such as "Export JSON" or "Export to JSON."
- Move the downloaded file to the other computer, for example with a USB drive, email, or a cloud folder.
- On the other computer, open the same tool and choose "Import JSON."
- Select the file. The tool loads your saved entries.
Good to know
- Not every tool has an import option. The Literature Review Matrix does, for example. If a tool only exports, keep the file as a record, since it can't be loaded back in.
- Importing a file replaces or adds to what's in the tool on that computer, depending on the tool. Export the second computer's data first if it has work you want to keep.
- The same steps work for moving between two browsers on one computer.
