## The problem

Lock-in is a real fear; you want to know you can take your work with you.

## How Plexii handles it

Export your whole workspace as a readable file at any time, save backups on your computer and restore them; the workspace lives on your computer first and works offline.

In short: Export your whole workspace as a readable file whenever you like, and keep backups on your own computer. Your workspace lives on your computer first.
