Save, back up and share a binder by link or QR

Device saves, account sync and public sharing have different jobs. Your private collection is saved separately from any public snapshot you choose to submit.

1. Watch the save indicator

   Guest edits save on the current browser and device. Sign in to your website account to sync binders, covers and staging. Connecting or retry messages describe the current connection; they do not mean account saving is disabled.

2. Export a backup

   On Your shelf, export one binder or all binders. Choose a filename; the JSON extension stays fixed. Import backup adds reviewed copies to your shelf and does not replace your current collection.

3. Resolve conflicts deliberately

   If another device changes your account collection, saving pauses. Export a backup, then use Account to load the account copy or keep this device’s changes.

4. Create your link and QR

   Open Tools → Share & view → Share binder while signed in to your Binderpages website account. Choose Create share link. The dialog displays a QR code for that link. Show it on your phone for someone else to scan, or choose Copy link. View shared binder opens the reader’s view. Your other binders, staging and account details are not included.

5. Control what collectors can see

   Card labels are private by default. Only enable Include card labels if you want them in this shared binder, then Save / retry update. Catalog-only edits update while the link is active; save an update after changing sharing options or artwork. Pause link stops access. Resume link restores the same URL and QR. Anyone receiving or forwarding an active link can view it.

6. Submit artwork to Community

   Public Community listings with covers, Michi art, merged artwork, custom images or image links require approval. Later edits return the listing to review. Link-only sharing keeps working while Community review is pending.
