Offline projects and templates

General usage

There are several reasons why you might want to save projects or templates to files:

  • For offline editing
  • To transfer projects or templates from one DEON server or DEON client to another
  • As a backup

Download projects

  1. Select you in your project list one or multiple projects (Hold Shift or Ctrl pressed, to select multiple projects simultaneously).
    For templates you can do the same in your library.
  2. Right-click and select „Save as…“ in the project list or „Export“ in the library.

Remember that the downloaded projects or templates are copies of the originals without any relationship between them. The original projects remain on the server. If the projects were shared with other users on the server, this information is not saved. If you plan to upload the projects later, you will need to share them with these users again if you wish.

Offline editing

To edit a downloaded project or template, simply double-click the downloaded .join or .deon file. You do not need a connection to a DEON server for offline editing. You can do this without a network connection.
Please note that Änderungen during offline editing are not saved automatically. You must press the „Save“ button in the upper left corner to update the file.

Upload to a DEON server

  1. Click in your project list on the Schaltfläche „Import“ (Regardless of whether you upload projects or templates).
  2. Select one or more projects (hold Shift or Ctrl to select multiple projects at once) and click "Open"

Please note that projects or templates with identical names as existing on the server are not zusammengeführt or überschrieben. After downloading and uploading a project to the same server or tenant you have two copies of this project. You können however copy/paste between these projects if you wish to manually zusammenführen changes you made during the offline editing. Öffnen both projects side by side and use Ctrl+C (or Ctrl+X) and Ctrl+V.
If the project you downloaded has been shared with other users, you müssen share it again after uploading, as this information während the download is not saved.
