Library
Everything you build in TP-Cloud is stored in your account and can be reused. Processes and fluids each have their own library, and both can be exported to a JSON file and imported again.
A library entry is a reusable template. When you import one into a calculation, TP-Cloud creates a local copy for that calculation. Editing the local copy does not change the library entry unless you explicitly save or export it back.
Processes
Open Processes to see everything you have built. The list can be organised into folders with New folder, and the sidebar additionally offers Recent, Favourites, Shared and Deleted views.
- Import: Press Import and pick a process JSON file. The process is added to the current folder.
- Export: Open the menu on a process row and choose Export. You get the same JSON file back, which is what you send to a colleague or attach to a bug report.
A checkpoint is different from an export. A checkpoint is a snapshot kept inside the process itself so you can return to a known state, while an export is a file that leaves the platform.
Fluids
The Fluid Library is your centralized place to define and store fluids. Library fluids can be imported and reused across TP-Cloud:
Fluids import and export the same way processes do, through the Import button and the per-fluid menu.
What a fluid actually contains, and how its composition is specified, is described in Fluid Packages & Composition.
Sharing
A library entry can be shared with individual colleagues or with a whole team. See Collaboration for roles and permissions.
