How saving works, and how to keep your plans in your account

Drawing as a guest

1. 1

   Check the status under the plan name

   Top left, under the plan name, the status reads saved here. Hover it for the full text: saved in this browser.

2. 2

   Keep one plan per browser

   A guest has one plan in this browser. New blank plan in the Plans menu asks first, because it clears the current plan from this browser. Opening a different template also starts from that template.

3. 3

   Sign up to keep it

   Click Sign up to keep it in the top bar. Continue with Google, or use your email. Your plan moves into your new account and opens right where you left off.

   

Your plans in the dashboard

1. 4

   Open My floor plans

   Signed in, go to My plans in the site menu, or All my projects in the editor Plans menu. The dashboard lists every plan with a preview. Search by name, filter by All types, Projects or Single files, and sort by Last edited, Date created or Name (A-Z).

   

2. 5

   Create a new plan

   Click New plan. In New floor plan, type a name, pick Project (multiple floors) or Single file (one canvas), choose the Units and click Create & open.

   

3. 6

   Manage a plan

   Open the menu on a card for Open in new tab, Copy link, Duplicate, Rename, Pin to top and Delete.

Saving when signed in

1. 7

   Let autosave work

   The status shows saving… and then saved. Press Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on a Mac) any time to save at once.

2. 8

   Go back to an earlier version

   Click History in the top bar (Version history). A version is recorded every few minutes while you edit. Click Save a version now to add one yourself. Pick a version and click Restore: your current plan is saved as a version first, so you can come back to it.

3. 9

   Work offline

   If you lose connection, the status reads offline and your work is kept in this browser. It saves as soon as you are back online.

Two tabs or two devices

1. 10

   Only one tab edits a plan

   Open the same plan in a second tab and the older tab shows This plan is now open in another tab and becomes view only. Click Use here instead to edit in that tab. This stops two copies from overwriting each other.

2. 11

   Choose when a plan changed elsewhere

   If the plan was saved on another device while you edited, you see This plan was changed in another tab or device. Nothing has been overwritten. Choose Load the latest, Save mine as a copy or Keep mine and overwrite. The version you do not keep goes to Version history.

Tips

• Before clearing your browser data, sign up so your guest plan moves into your account.
• Adding floors, exporting, sharing a link, importing a photo and uploading your own textures all need a free account.
• Change your language, password or sign in details in Account settings, from the account menu at the top right.
• To delete your account and all plans, go to Account settings and use Delete account in the Danger zone.

Common problems

My plan is gone

If you drew as a guest, the plan was in one browser only. Check you are in the same browser and not in a private window. If you were signed in, open My plans, and use Version history inside the plan to restore an earlier version.

The status says not saved

The plan changed in another tab or device. Pick which version to keep in the dialog. Your changes here are safe until you choose.

This tab says view only

The plan is open in another tab. Close the other tab, or click Use here instead to edit here.

I want more than one plan without an account

A guest browser keeps one plan. Export is also locked for guests. Create a free account to keep as many plans as you like.
