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:

  1. Open both projects and compare results.
  2. Keep the project with the edits you want.
  3. Delete the other one.
  4. Click Sync now.

To reduce conflicts, avoid editing the same project in multiple tabs/devices at the same time, and sync before switching devices.
