Back up and recover work
Preserve the Project folder and use the right recovery action.
Project files are authoritative on the local service or explicit Team host. Keep their location identifiable before backing up or moving the work.
Back up or move a Project
Finish active writes and work before taking a consistent copy of the entire Project folder. Copy it to the intended backup or new location, then open that folder in Knotest. Use Locate folder if the registered location changed.
Accounts, private provider keys, and other credentials stay outside Projects. Re-enter the necessary credentials after moving to another host or profile and verify external connections again.
Restore from Trash
Vault and Testing use Move to Trash with 30-day recovery. Active Runs, issued reports, and referenced evidence remain protected. Move a Test plan’s Runs to Trash before removing that plan.
Assessments stay recoverable indefinitely and cannot be permanently deleted through Trash, preserving their decisions and cited evidence.
Choose the matching recovery
Retry save retains a failed draft; Discard changes returns to saved values. Recover Project can restore a missing or damaged manifest from compatible saved records. A runtime recovery banner offers Recover runtime after active work permits recovery.
For failures that remain unresolved, collect diagnostics.
