## Frequently asked questions

### Can CSV restore my notebook?

No. Restore accepts application JSON; CSV omits habit identifiers, configuration and the complete data model.

### Does import merge two devices?

No. Import replaces current records after confirmation. Back up both sides first.

### Are local records encrypted or guaranteed offline?

No. Local storage is unencrypted; first load needs a connection and offline reopening is not guaranteed.
