Save project

There is no need to save a project in Moqups. As long as you are connected to the Internet, the project autosaves every time you make a change.

Duplicate project

If a project is open, you can Save as a duplicate and, if a project is closed, you can use the Duplicate function. In both cases, you have the option to:

• Enable Team Access: When enabled, the designated team can find and access the project.
• Keep Project Permissions: Share the duplicate with the same individually added collaborators.

Questions and answers

What if I lose my Internet connection while I’m working on a project?

If you lose your Internet connection, an Offline icon will appear next to the project title.

If this happens, make sure you don’t close your browser until you are able to reconnect. If the interruption is only temporary, your project should resync once the connection is re-established.
