Protecting Your Work

Bookshaper protects your manuscripts with two independent safety nets: automatic local backups and encrypted cloud sync.

Auto-Backup

Auto-Backup creates timestamped ZIP archives of your entire project at regular intervals. Each backup includes chapters, scenes, front and back matter, characters, locations, notebook entries, and project settings.

Cloud Sync

Cloud Sync uploads an encrypted copy of your project after each save. Your manuscripts are encrypted on your device before they leave your computer, and the server stores only the encrypted copy.

Restoring your work

  • From the cloud: sign in on any device and go to File > Cloud Projects.
  • From a local backup: go to File > Restore from Archive and select a timestamped ZIP.
