Cloud Sync & Version History
How sync, checkpoints, conflict copies, and restore work in Beadify.
You must sign in before cloud sync and cloud versions are available. Beadify remains local-first, and sync adds cross-device continuity.
Plan Limits (Default)
- Free: up to 5 synced projects, up to 3 versions per project, 7-day version retention.
- Paid: up to 200 synced projects, up to 50 versions per project, 180-day version retention.
- When a project reaches its version cap, the oldest version is removed automatically.
Sync Modes
- Free: manual or triggered sync (
Sync now). - Paid: automatic sync with outbox flushing.
If cloud usage is over free quota after downgrade grace, cloud writes can become read-only while local editing still works.
Cloud Inventory Snapshot (My Inventory)
- Paid/Lifetime users can read and write the cloud inventory snapshot.
- Free users can read only their own previously synced cloud inventory snapshot.
- Free users cannot create new cloud inventory writes until they upgrade.
Checkpoint Rules
Beadify creates cloud checkpoints at different moments:
- Autosave checkpoint:
- Requires meaningful change.
- Requires minimum interval (default 10 minutes).
- Pre-action checkpoint (before restore/import/export/exit):
- Requires meaningful change.
- Does not require the 10-minute autosave interval.
This keeps autosave efficient while ensuring high-risk actions get recoverable snapshots.
Version History Actions
Open a project card menu and choose Version history to:
- View recent cloud versions.
- Restore a selected version.
- Delete all versions for the project.
Delete All Versions
The action is protected by double confirmation before execution.
Why You May See [conflict]
[conflict] means cloud sync detected a revision mismatch (for example, stale
base revision) and created a safe local copy to avoid data loss.
How to handle:
- Open both projects and compare results.
- Keep the project with the edits you want.
- Delete the other one.
- Click Sync now.
To reduce conflicts, avoid editing the same project in multiple tabs/devices at the same time, and sync before switching devices.
