Backup or restore a canvas

Canvases in Allo can be backed up and restored. The feature is also useful when you want to move the canvas to another workspace.

To backup a canvas, follow the steps below:

1. Enter the canvas you want to backup.
2. Click on the three-dot next to the canvas name towards the top of the screen.
3. Select "Backup and restore".
4. Click "Export and backup".
5. The file will then be saved locally.

To restore a canvas, follow the steps below:

1. Enter the canvas you want to retore to.
2. Click on the three-dot next to the canvas name towards the top of the screen.
3. Select "Backup and restore".
4. Click "Import and restore".

Note: Once you restore the canvas, the original contents of the canvas will be erased and replaced with the contents of the imported canvas. We recommend you restore the canvas to a newly created blank canvas.
