Data & Sync
Understand Yuhimo’s data behavior, backups, offline mode, import/export, and portability.
Data & Sync · Updated 2026-05-30
Data & Sync covers how Yuhimo handles user-created content, backup and restore behavior, offline access, import and export, and portability.
Pages are the main user-created data. Learning pages also have scheduling state. Questions belong to pages. Offline mode is read-only for cached content. Backups and exports are different workflows: export helps portability; backup helps recovery.

The basic data model
- Pages contain notes, structure, links, and references.
- Questions are attached to pages.
- Learning state belongs to learning pages.
- Scheduling data is used inside Yuhimo.
- External resources should be linked if direct storage is not supported.
Backup is for recovery
- Backups can be full workspace, single page, or subtree.
- Restoring a backup adds restored content as copies with new IDs.
- Restore does not overwrite or delete the current workspace.
- You can optionally preserve study state on restore.
- Invalid hierarchy in a backup may be repaired with warnings.
- Repeated restore can create duplicates — this protects against accidental overwrite.

Export is for portability
- Export creates readable HTML, TXT, PDF, or subtree ZIP files.
- Export is for portability — not full Yuhimo recovery.
- Readable export usually does not include full learning state.
- Use backup when you need restore inside Yuhimo.
Offline mode is read-only
- Offline mode keeps a read-only snapshot in browser storage on each device.
- Enabling offline access refreshes that snapshot while online.
- Limits: about 20 MB per note and about 300 MB total cache.
- Cached content may be stale until reconnect and cache refresh complete.
- Do not expect offline editing, grading, learning sessions, trash, AI, or backup restore.
- Cached content is not a backup — use backups for recovery.
What not to assume
- Do not assume export is the same as backup.
- Do not assume restore overwrites the workspace.
- Do not assume cached offline content is complete or permanent.
- Do not assume offline mode supports editing.
- Do not assume another app can use Yuhimo’s scheduling state.
- Do not assume external links will always remain available.
- Do not assume unsupported file, image, or video storage.
Recommended data habits
- Keep important explanations inside pages, not only in external links.
- Use clear page titles and structure.
- Use backups for recovery protection.
- Use exports when portability matters.
- Review restored copies before deleting anything.
- Do not rely on cached offline content as the only copy.
- Keep questions understandable outside hidden context.
