Help with your project.

Use Back up workspace to keep an editable .kerfkeep workspace outside the app. It preserves the project, stock history, archived checkpoints and unfinished drafts.

CSV exchanges rows. PDF keeps a job packet or labels. Neither replaces the full workspace backup. Save on this device is working storage, so keep a separate portable backup too.

No. Supported native workspace and older portable files open as a local working copy; the selected source file is unchanged. Save on this device and autosave update local app storage. Use Back up workspace to explicitly export a new portable copy.

Back up before opening another workspace: it replaces the active workspace rather than merging stock. Earlier full workspace copies are retained locally. An existing or older stock copy may open at a new checkpoint with its old history preserved read-only. That checkpoint clears the active plan and input drafts; the selected backup remains unchanged. Check quantities against physical stock before recording more work.

Background saving depends on the time the system allows. If saving becomes uncertain, preserve the open work and follow the recovery notice before changing more stock.

The app does not operate a shared cloud stock library or cross-device stock lock. A file provider may synchronize a backup you explicitly export under its own settings; the app does not write your local edits back to an imported file. Work from one current stock record, keep backups and reconcile actual quantities before switching to another copy.

No. Local records can include the active workspace and unfinished drafts, a previous recovery save, preserved unreadable saves, archived history and earlier full-library snapshots. Exported or provider-synchronized copies remain at their chosen destinations.

Starting a new project, opening another workspace or deleting one exported backup does not remove every retained copy. This version has no single action that deletes all of them.

Some required parts are still unplaced, so the job is incomplete. Read their reasons and check units, material, grain, allowances and available stock. A high area percentage does not mean every part fits. After changing inputs or stock, create a fresh plan.

The planner seeks a best-found rectangular guillotine layout. It does not promise a mathematical optimum or guaranteed material savings.

A proposed rectangle has a plan-node ID. It becomes a stock record with an inventory stock ID only after you choose to keep it and explicitly commit the plan. Committed-remnant labels use currently available stock with matching committed history; manually entered or exhausted rows are not automatically eligible.

Planning, exporting and reprinting labels do not change stock. Match a label’s stock ID, dimensions, material, thickness and grain to the physical piece before reuse.

Use Review latest stock undo… to inspect the latest applied action. Later dependent actions must be reversed first. Undo restores a software record; it cannot reverse physical cutting.

Review archive & carry forward… keeps the closed history and carries the exact remaining stock forward. Undo stops at that checkpoint. Back up first, create a fresh plan afterward and keep a new backup. Archived quantities are not additional stock.

Open the workspace backup you saved before loading the example. To start a separate empty record, use Remnant library → Start a separate empty library… and review the confirmation. Back up first if you need an independent copy.

New project keeps the current library, including any sample stock. Example dimensions are illustrative; check your real material before recording a job.

Choose A4 or US Letter in Export, prepare the PDF and review its preview. Diagrams are scaled: use the written dimensions. Labels are intended for plain paper and are not calibrated to a particular adhesive sheet.

Printer and sharing options depend on your device and available destinations. A geometric cut sequence does not provide machine setup or equipment-operation instructions.
