Diagram listing: manifest.json, job.json, portal-link.txt, files/ folders by type, drafts/*.json, optional pending-uploads/. Annotated boxes, no sensitive tokens.

  • manifest.json — export metadata and warnings
  • job.json — project fields, timeline, metrics (includes private fields not shown on portal)
  • portal-link.txt — client URL when configured
  • files/ — downloaded originals grouped by file type
  • drafts/ — local quotation, contract, or damage-report drafts not yet uploaded
  • pending-uploads/ — queued files not yet synced (with warning in manifest)

Offline behavior

Export needs network access to download server-backed files. If you are offline and files exist only in the cloud, export is blocked with a clear message rather than a partial archive.
