Project saving and recovery

A project fails to save

1. Keep the project tab open and record the exact error. If Windows reports an inaccessible folder, use Save As to try a writable local folder.
2. After a successful save, open the new file to verify the latest edits before relying on it.
3. If the app exits during saving, check %LOCALAPPDATA%\LaserStudio\Recovery\error.log and %LOCALAPPDATA%\LaserStudio\Diagnostics\desktop-errors.log for the last relevant entries.

Recover work after an unexpected exit

Check the recovery offer when restarting. Recovery snapshots are best-effort and cover the active tab. Review any recovered artwork, then save it under a new filename so you can compare it with the last saved version.

Work across several project tabs

Save each edited tab explicitly. Keep the editable .laserproj file when also exporting SVG or offline G-code. See Workspace and files for the file workflow.
