Where your data lives

Everything you enter stays in this browser, on this computer. We never receive student data. The app carries a built-in browser rule that blocks it from connecting to the internet at all, and it works with Wi-Fi off.

If something looks wrong

My data is gone.

Make sure you're on the same computer, browser and copy of index.html as before. If the browser data was cleared, use Import backup with your latest backup file.

The chart prints on two pages, or sideways.

In the print window, set Layout to Landscape and Scale to Default.

A yellow banner says the app can't save.

A browser setting is blocking site data. Change it or ask IT, and export a backup before you close the tab. Avoid private or incognito windows, which erase everything when they close.
