Projects and Cloud Save
Once you have an ELYSIUM account, you can save your designs to the cloud and manage them from the Projects panel in the right sidebar.
Saving to the cloud
Click "Save to ELYSIUM" in the sidebar actions area (the ELYSIUM logo button). If you're not signed in yet, the sign-in screen opens first.
The save form
Fill in the details for your cloud save:
| Field | Required | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Project Name | Yes | Pre-filled from your current project name |
| Card Name | Yes | Pre-filled from your card title |
| Description | Yes | A short description of your design |
| Status | Yes | Draft (work in progress) or Published (ready to share) |
Click Save to start uploading. A progress bar shows the upload percentage and file size.
After saving
Once your save completes, you'll see four options:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Continue Editing | Close the dialog and go back to your design |
| Switch Project | Load a different cloud eCard |
| Share Card | Create a share link for the card you just saved |
| Create New Project | Start fresh with a quick setup wizard |
The Projects panel
The Projects panel (folder icon) in the right sidebar shows all your cloud-saved eCards.
Before signing in
If you're not logged in, the panel shows Sign In and Create Account buttons to get you started.
Your eCard list
After signing in, you'll see a scrollable list of your saved eCards. Each row shows:
- Project name and card name
- Status badge — Draft (yellow), Published (green), or Synced (blue)
- Time since last edit (e.g., "2h ago", "3d ago")
- Expand arrow — Click to see the description and an Open button
The eCard you're currently working on is highlighted with a green border and checkmark.
Searching and browsing
- Use the search bar at the top to filter your eCards instantly
- Next/Previous buttons let you navigate through large collections
Loading a cloud eCard
Click an eCard in the list to load it into your workspace. You'll see a download progress bar with the percentage and file size as it loads.
Loading a different eCard replaces your current workspace. If you have unsaved changes, a confirmation dialog asks whether you want to stay or discard your changes.
Unsaved changes protection
The Card Designer watches out for you in several ways:
- Switching eCards — A confirmation dialog appears if you try to load a different eCard while you have unsaved work
- Signing out — You'll be warned before logging out with unsaved changes
- Closing the browser — A native "Leave site?" prompt appears if you try to close the tab with unsaved work
Save frequently using "Save to ELYSIUM" to keep your work safe. The Projects panel shows when each eCard was last saved.
