Record Collection

Archiving a project keeps its label, along with notes, duration, and more, in the Record Collection. The page is both the archive record and the place to restore or manage those projects.

Opening the Record Collection

The top row of the Project Library panel is Record Collection, showing the number of archived records; select it to open. Tablet and browser menus also have Record Collection. An archive-complete notice carries a View action that jumps straight to the card just archived.

The Collection Page

Cards sort newest-archived first, grouped into shelves by month. The search field at the top filters by name or notes. Select, at the top right, opens multi-select for batch export or deleting local files.

Card Detail

Opening a card shows:

• The date range and day count, from the project's creation to its most recent archive date — for example "2026-08-01 → 2026-09-28 · 58 days".
• Duration, clip count, and the original filename.
• Notes, editable at any time.
• Export history: each export's time and filename, with a Verified mark once checked.
• Archive history: the date of every archive — restoring a project and archiving it again adds another entry.

Tapping the record in the middle of the detail page stops or spins it again, easing in and out of the turn so the label's center stays easy to see.

Restore to Projects

Restore to Projects on a card puts the project back in the project list, ready to open normally. The card stays in the Record Collection, its status changed to Back in Projects. Archiving it again refreshes the label and adds a new archive-history entry; notes are pre-filled but can be changed.

Export

Export on a card creates a .gjproject file for that project. A batch export from multi-select packages each project into its own file; progress is shown while it runs, and any projects that failed are listed separately, retryable one at a time, while the ones that succeeded go straight to sharing.

Verify Backup File

Verify Backup File only reads, never imports: pick a .gjproject file, and it checks whether the file is complete, belongs to this card's project, and can be imported by the current app version. A pass marks the matching export-history entry as verified.

Delete Local Files

Delete Local Files removes only the project's folder; the card, label, notes, and export history all stay in the Record Collection. A project that has never been exported is flagged first — deleting it leaves only the label and the record, with no way to recover the audio — but deleting is still allowed after that warning.

Recover from File

When a card's status shows Record only (its local files were deleted), Recover from File lets you pick a previously exported .gjproject file and put the project back on the device. Its archive status is unchanged — it stays in the Record Collection. A file that belongs to a different project is rejected.

Remove from Collection

Remove from Collection…, at the very bottom of the detail page, deletes the card entirely and asks for confirmation. If local files still exist, it asks whether to delete them too or restore the project to the project list first. This cannot be undone.

Playlists

A track already in a playlist keeps playing normally regardless of archiving; the track picker used to build playlists does not show archived projects.

Collection Backup in Settings

Settings has Export Record Collection and Import Record Collection. Exporting creates a single .gjcollection file with every card's label, notes, and record, without audio. Importing merges cards by project — cards already on the device are kept, and only replaced when the imported one is newer.

The LAN Web Page

The project list in LAN Transfer hides archived projects by default; turn on Show Archived to see them. The list supports archiving one project or several at once, with notes either way; checking Export and Archive does the export and the archive in one step.

The web page has its own Record Collection tab: a wall of labels, notes editing, restore to project list, delete local files, batch download, and recovering from an uploaded .gjproject.

Common Questions

Where is the Record Collection stored? Its records stay on the device and are included in the system's whole-device backup. There is no automatic sync between devices — moving records over needs an exported .gjcollection file, or, for a single project, the card carried inside its exported project package.

A card keeps showing Record only. That project's local files are gone; use Recover from File with a previously exported .gjproject to bring it back.

The Collection page says it's read-only. The Record Collection file may have been saved by a newer version of the app; archiving and changes are unavailable until the app is updated, and the file is left untouched in the meantime.
