Frequently asked questions

Can I recover my documents after closing the page?

Documents are saved automatically in this browser and restored when you return. Closing a document with X deletes it. Browser cleanup can also remove saved work; download important results or export your workspace.

What does JSON escaping produce?

It turns the input text into one valid JSON string, escaping quotes, line breaks and backslashes.
