Local browser storage is private and convenient, but it is not a cloud account
Planning Studio data can be unavailable if you switch browsers or devices, use a private/incognito session, clear site data or lose access to the device. The backup file gives you a manual recovery path without requiring WeddingIdea.ca to hold your planning information on a server.
Before a new device
Export the full plan from the old browser, then restore it after opening WeddingIdea.ca on the new one.
Before browser cleanup
Export first if you plan to clear cookies, site storage or browser profiles.
After major milestones
A fresh backup after final RSVPs or major vendor bookings is more useful than a months-old copy.
Keep control
The downloaded file may contain guest and wedding planning details, so store and share it deliberately.
