How to Export and Import Data? YYNote Data Backup Guide

Your data is invaluable. Regular backups are a great habit.

The PC version supports exporting all data, including deleted records.

Path: Main interface bottom toolbar → Export

Exported data includes:

  • Todo data (including completed and deleted items)
  • Sticky note data (including archived and deleted)
  • Schedule data
  • Tag data
  • System settings

Your data belongs to you. Even after your membership expires, you can still export your data. YYNote does not hold your data hostage — you can always get a copy of everything you’ve created.

To restore your data on a new device or after a fresh installation:

  • PC: Use the Import function at the same location (Main interface → Import), then select your exported backup file
  • App: Data syncs automatically via the cloud when you log into your account

We recommend exporting at these key moments:

  • Before mass-deleting tasks (prevents accidental loss)
  • Before canceling your membership (confirm your data is saved)
  • Before a long period of inactivity (keep a backup)
  • Before switching devices (confirm everything is synced)

Exported data can be kept as a backup or imported into other tools for further organization.

  • Data export is a free feature — available anytime after logging in
  • Even deleted data can be exported, so back up before mass deletion
  • Exporting does not remove any data from your account

If you encounter sync issues:

  • App: Try reinstalling the app
  • PC: Try deleting the YYNote folder (the data will be re-downloaded from the server)

No flashy new features, just continuous refinement. Data backup is something you never think about until you need it — and by then, it’s too late.
