Saving and exporting

The designer gives you two ways to persist your work: Save (back to the platform) and Download (local JSON file).

Saving

Click the Save button in the top bar or press ⌘S. This sends your seatmap data back to the tixity platform.

The save button shows an indicator dot when you have unsaved changes. A loading spinner appears while the save is in progress.

Downloading

Click the Download button in the top bar to export your seatmap as a JSON file. This creates a local backup that can be:

• Imported into another environment
• Shared with team members
• Version-controlled in git
• Used for debugging or support

Start over

Click Start Over in the bottom bar to reset the seatmap and return to the layout chooser. This clears all elements from the canvas.

Danger: Start Over cannot be undone. make sure to save or download your seatmap before starting over.

Tips

Tip: Save frequently, especially after completing a major section. The designer does not auto-save.

Tip: Download a backup before making large changes. If something goes wrong, you can share the JSON file with support for recovery.
