❓ FAQ

How does SiYuan store data?

The data is saved in the workspace folder (the default is in the user's home directory Documents/SiYuan, which can be modified in Settings - About), in the workspace data folder:

• assets are used to save all inserted asset files
• templates are used to save template snippets
• widgets are used to save widgets
• emojis are used to save emoji images
• The rest of the folders are the notebook folders created by the user, files with the suffix of .sy in the notebook folder are used to save the document data, and the data format is JSON

Is SiYuan open source?

It is not completely open source at present, but some components and applications have been open sourced, and contributions are welcome.

• User Guide
• Appearance
• Data Parser
• Editor Engine
• End-to-end encryption
• Chrome Clipping Extension
• Android App
• iOS App

Is there any note for deleting docs?

After deletion, the doc will not appear in the operating system's recycle bin, but will be deleted directly. When deleted, SiYuan will generate edit history.

How can I just wrap and not start a new paragraph?

Please use Shift+Enter.

How to move the heading and blocks below it?

Fold the heading and move it later.

How to select multiple blocks across pages?

Click at the beginning, hold down Shift and click at the end after scrolling the page.

How to adjust table rows and columns?

There is an operation entry in the block icon menu of the table block.

How to use a third-party sync disk for data synchronization?

• Please only synchronize the workspace/data/, do not synchronize the entire workspace
• Please suspend third-party synchronization during the operation of SiYuan, otherwise data may be damaged. For details, please refer to here
• The data folder path on the Android is internal storage device/Android/data/org.b3log.siyuan/files/siyuan/data/, which is a private path of the application and cannot be read by other programs and can only be copied manually
• There is a conflict between third-party synchronization and SiYuan synchronization, please do not use at the same time

What should I do if I forget the end-to-end password?

• Use the new workspace on the main device, manually copy the old workspace data folder to the new workspace
• New workspace can reset password
• The cloud uses the new cloud synchronization directory

If it is a mobile-end, uninstall and reinstall it (note: When the mobile-enduninstalls the application, the local workspace data will be deleted together).

Do I need to pay for it?

Local functions are completely free to use, Cloud services requires annual subscription, price is $72/year。

Users in non-Mainland China regions should not pay for subscriptions, because SiYuan Cloud Server cannot guarantee availability in non-Mainland China regions.
