Designing a bracelet
Export and import a design file
Keep your own copy of a design as a file, or bring a design file into this browser as a new design.
Who it is for
Anyone with a design in this browser.
Before you start
- A design of your own open in this browser (the Work menu is not shown on public designs).
Export
The file holds what is on screen, also edits the browser could not keep. The same menu can download a picture (PNG) and the material list (CSV).
- Open the design and its “Work” menu in the bar above it.
- Under Files, choose “Export design file”. The browser downloads a .json file named after the design.
Import
An author’s beads in an imported file become “To choose” positions, which you fill before buying.
- Open any of your designs and its “Work” menu.
- Choose “Import design file” and pick a .json design file (at most 256 KB).
- The file is checked as a whole. If it is valid, it opens as a new design with its own address; the design that was open is not changed.
What you will see
- “Download started: …” after exporting.
- “Imported … as a new design.” after importing, with the new design open.
Limits
- A file with an unknown material, an unavailable size, more than 150 pieces or invalid sizes imports nothing.
- Importing needs an open design of your own; My designs has no import button.
- A design file is a backup you keep yourself; the site does not keep it.
