Can't save to the cloud
If Save doesn't put your design in the cloud, find the message or situation below. Whatever the cause, you can keep your work safe right away with Save to this computer (.vemb)… (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+S, "Download (.vemb)" on the web), then sort out the cloud save afterwards.
You're not signed in
Cloud save needs an account. Sign in first: see Signing in. You can always Save to this computer (.vemb)… ("Download (.vemb)" on the web) without an account.
"You've reached the design limit"
The Free plan keeps up to 10 designs in the cloud. When you hit it, Boldbobbin shows your count and the cap and offers to Upgrade to Pro or delete some designs. You can keep working and save to your device in the meantime.
To free space, open My designs and delete designs you no longer need (deleting can't be undone). Pro and Lifetime give unlimited cloud storage (within fair use), and a Bullis license allows 100. See Plans and credits.
For example, with 10 of 10 designs used on Free, open My designs, delete an old test design you no longer need, then go back to your design and press Save again.
I can't publish another design
That is a different limit from the cloud-design cap. Your plan includes a number of community publications, and the publish dialog shows how many you have used. Unpublish one to free a slot, or upgrade. Designs you have already published stay online either way. See Publish a design.
"Cloud is not configured (missing env vars)"
This copy of Boldbobbin has no connection to Boldbobbin's cloud, so cloud features are off. The editor and local saving still work. See Sign-in problems.
The save just failed
For a design that is already in the cloud, the chip beside its name reads Not saved to cloud, and hovering it says why. To fix it:
- Check your internet connection.
- Press Save (Ctrl/Cmd+S) to try again. The chip goes back to Saved to cloud once it works.
- If it keeps failing, use Save to this computer (.vemb)… so you don't lose work, then report it via Help → Report a bug….
