Project files
A .archoverflow file is a whole project in one file, to send, archive or open in any tool.
A project file ends in .archoverflow. It's a project folder packed into one file: every tool's schemes for the project, their snapshots, images, and the project's facts.
It carries your data only, the same facts a spreadsheet would. Open it in ArchOverflow to work with it.
Make a project file #
While a project folder is open in a tool, open Project ▾ and click Download as one file (.archoverflow).
Open a project file #
- In any tool, open Project ▾.
- Click Open a project file (.archoverflow)… and pick the file.
What happens next depends on your browser:
- Chrome and Edge unpack it into a project folder you pick. Click Unpack into a folder… on the banner. From then on you work in the folder.
- Other browsers let you work from the file directly. The chip beside the scheme's name says file. To keep your changes, click Download the updated project file in Project ▾. Click Close the project file when you're done.
ArchOverflow keeps no copy either way.
A tool's own files #
Most tools also save a file of their own for one scheme, like a .schedule.json. Those hold one scheme, not a whole project. See Exports and each tool's export page.
