Important: Browser storage can be cleared by Windows or browser updates. Always keep a backup file. Use Backup All Data after any admin changes to Material Types, Users, or Skips — then use Restore from Backup to reload it if data is lost.
⚠ Storage Warning: Browser storage may not be persisting on this device. Use Backup & Restore below to protect your data.

Restore

After each import, download a new backup to preserve your changes.
