How to back up a complete WB Figure Studio project

Use Back up project to package complete originals, saved bands, figures and relationships in a separate .wbfig backup.

1. Save new bands, use Update strip to keep changes to existing bands, then check your figures.

2. Choose Back up project and save the .wbfig package.

3. Keep a separate copy in a reliable backup location. The package includes complete originals, saved band coordinates and annotations, all figures and source relationships.

4. Open a copy in a compatible version and check originals and figures before relying on the backup.

From build 1.1.40, complete packages also include up to 10 named history versions, their source images and the latest 20 calculation records. Older packages can be opened, but absent histories or calculations cannot be restored, and local history from other projects is not mixed in.

From build 1.1.40, a missing original or checksum mismatch preserves strip references but blocks scientific output for that image. Reimport the identical acquisition file or open a complete package containing it. A matching checksum restores the source while keeping names, timestamps, asset identity and crop coordinates. Editing recovery records cannot restore missing originals.

Common mistakes

Local autosave and sign-in are not cloud sync. An exported figure image is not a complete project backup. Unsaved band drafts are not included in a project package.
