Avoiding browser update, clear cache and/or loading errors

  1. When you are finishing your work day please make a backup (Ctrl+B) or save the report (Ctrl+S) it only takes a minute and you are safe.

  2. If you are loading files make a backup. Please read carefully the Yes/No messages during this process as they will inform you about the consequences. This avoids accidentally loading backups or overwriting reports while trying to merge.

  3. Copy finished reports to a specific location on your hard drive. Always keep the report pdf and report json

  4. Files will not be overwritten so old backups can be deleted after some time. All this data is generally stored in your downloads folder
