Cloud save

By default the builder runs entirely in your browser and nothing leaves your machine. If you sign in, you can additionally save questionnaires to the cloud so they follow you between devices and sessions.

Signing in

Cloud features use GitHub sign-in. Choose the sign-in option and authorise with your GitHub account; you are returned to the builder signed in. Sign out at any time to go back to local-only use.

Saving to the cloud

While signed in, the Save ▾ menu offers a cloud-save action that stores the current questionnaire to your account. Your cloud questionnaires are private to your account.

Opening from the cloud

Open Questionnaires ▾ → ☁️ From Cloud… to see the list of questionnaires you have saved. From there you can open one back into the builder, or delete ones you no longer need.

Settings sync

When signed in, your Settings (server URLs, validators and similar preferences) are also synced to your account, so a device you sign in on picks up the same configuration.

There is no public share-link feature — cloud storage is personal. To share a questionnaire with someone else, export it as 📄 Questionnaire · FHIR JSON from the Save menu and send them the file; they can open it with Questionnaires ▾ → 📂 From file… (see Import & round-trip).

Without an account

Signing in is entirely optional. Everything except cloud storage — building, previewing, import/export, extraction, translation — works without an account, and your most recent work is kept as a local Recent draft you can restore from the Questionnaires menu.

That local draft is kept up to date by autosave — it writes the current questionnaire to your browser's local storage every 15 seconds while you work, so a crashed tab or an accidental close doesn't lose your edits. It's on by default; to turn it off, uncheck Autosave in ⚙ Settings ▾, next to the tooltip and validation toggles. The same menu row shows the time of the last save once it has run at least once.

Next: FHIR field reference.
