Understanding Local Storage

Modern Layout

Designs that are listed in the Saved Buildings page are stored in the browser's local storage. Local storage is not in the cloud. Because we are using the browser's local storage, it's important to understand how local storge storage works:

  1. Saved designs will only be displayed on the browser and machine used to save the design. 

    1. For example, if I saved : If a user saves designs using my their Chrome browser on my their Mac, those designs will only be displayed on my their Chrome browser on my their Mac. They will not be displayed if I open my the user opens their Mac's Safari browser or if I they open my the Chrome browser on my their phone.

  2. If you go navigate to "Clear browsing data | Clear your cookies and other site data" on your Chrome browser, your list of designs will be cleared from the Saved Buildings page on that browser.

  3. If you disable cookies, then local storage will not work.
