Backups, import, and export

Keep a backup, bring in old drafts, and export finished work.

Store and back up your work

Find your library location in Settings. Professional and Intelligent support custom folders and iCloud Drive.

  • Back up the complete library to another drive or Time Machine.
  • Create a book snapshot before major edits.
  • Wait for iCloud Drive to finish syncing before switching devices.

Snapshots live in the library too. Keep an independent backup as well.
