exporting and importing program state

By default, exported .loomstate files will contain your entire program configuration, include any API keys that you have saved, so be careful not to share or publish files that contain sensitive information.

.loomstate files do not include user information. Anyone using Loom can open any .loomstate file exported by Loom.

.loomstate

Loom uses the .loomstate file format for backups / snapshots of the program state. By default, .loomstate files contain the exact same information as is saved to your browser:

• All trees

• The currently open tree and current path

• All preferences, including any saved model configs and API keys

exporting .loomstate

Export the current state as .loomstate from File > Export > Export program state as .loomstate.

importing .loomstate

Import a .loomstate file from File > Import > Load program state from file. This will load the snapshot of the program.

what about the existing state?

If you load from a .loomstate file, the current state will be modified by the imported state according to these rules:

• Any trees that are in the old state but not in the new state will be kept

• Any trees that have the same id as a tree in the imported state will be overwritten
