On this page

Back up or hand off a complete Tako workspace that remains available after the owner tab closes.

Procedure

  1. Verify important calculations and reports.
  2. Choose File > Export Workspace ZIP.
  3. Save the timestamped archive outside the browser profile.
  4. Inspect the archive or reopen it in a separate Tako workspace.

File menu with Export Workspace ZIP

Archive contents

PathPurpose
README.mdArchive orientation
workspace.jsonProjects/tabs, structures, layers, settings, records, Explorer state
explorer/User-facing scripts, inputs, outputs, and reports
calculations/.../input/Calculation inputs/settings/scripts
calculations/.../output/Results, logs, trajectories, spectra, cubes
repo.json and manifests/File inventory/hash metadata
artifacts/sha256/Deduplicated content-addressed file bodies

Model runtimes/weights are not bundled; the recipient downloads required assets separately.

Verify the archive

Confirm the ZIP is non-empty, contains the intended script/inputs/outputs/report, opens successfully, and does not contain credentials or private files. Re-run only after checking model/version and provenance expectations.

Troubleshooting

SymptomFix
Archive misses a resultEnsure it was written into Explorer/workspace state before export
Recipient cannot reproduceInclude reference/run.js, explicit inputs, settings, and model ID
Archive is too largeDecide whether raw trajectories/caches are necessary before export
Model unavailableDocument required model and use Model Manager on recipient system
