Getting Started

Account & Cloud

The panel designer opens without an account, but to save projects to the cloud and open them on other devices you need an ElectroBoard account. With an account, your projects are stored in the cloud and sync automatically across your devices.

Sign Up and Sign In

There are two ways to sign in:

  • Email and password — click Start in the header to register, or Sign in if you already have an account.
  • Google — the Continue with Google button in the sign-in dialog.

Password requirements when registering: at least 6 characters, with at least one digit and one uppercase letter. You must also accept the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

If your email address is rejected, the service validates the email domain against a list of known providers. Use a different email or sign in with Google.

Forgot your password? In the sign-in dialog click Forgot password — a recovery email will be sent to your address.

The designer (/board) opens without signing in, while settings (/settings) are available only after signing in.

Working Without an Account

The designer opens without signing in: you can create one panel (blank, from a template or from an .eboard file), and the checks, calculations and exports work as usual.

  • What stays only in this browser. The panel and its changes. They will not be on another device, and clearing the browser data may delete them. After a successful write the save indicator says "Saved in this browser". If the browser could not write the changes (storage full or blocked), the editor says so and suggests downloading the .eboard file.
  • When the invitation to create an account appears. Instead of an error, the editor invites you to create a free account when you create a second panel in the project form, share a link, write to support or exceed the free allowance of the AI consultant.
  • Saving the panel to an account. After signing in or up, a panel made without an account is offered for saving to your account. The card verifies the copy in the account, and until it is confirmed the panel stays in this browser. If you chose "Not now", the project form keeps a line about panels from this browser that are not yet saved to the account, with a save button.

Account Settings

Open settings from the account menu (avatar in the header) → Settings. Two tabs:

Profile:

  • Email — shown, cannot be changed
  • Name — your display name, editable
  • Change password — new password (minimum 8 characters)
  • Newsletter — turn update emails on or off

Subscription: a free plan with the full designer feature set is currently available. The ElectroBoard PRO tier is marked coming soon.

My Projects

The project list opens in the Select or create a project dialog — automatically when you enter the designer without a project selected, and via the toolbar button and the My panels menu item.

What you can do with projects:

  • Create — a new project with a chosen network preset and (optionally) a panel template
  • Open — click a project to open it in the editor
  • Rename — directly in the list or in the project-name field in the editor toolbar
  • Delete — the trash icon next to a project, with confirmation (deleted permanently)

One project = one panel.

Autosave

ElectroBoard saves changes automatically — there is no separate Save button. Saving fires about 2.5 seconds after your last change, and immediately when you confirm dialogs or close the tab.

The save state is shown by a colored dot in the toolbar:

  • 🟢 green — saved, all changes synced
  • 🟡 amber (pulsing) — saving in progress
  • 🔴 red — save error

A separate dot indicates a lost connection.

Cloud Sync

ElectroBoard is offline-first: changes are written locally first (instantly, no internet needed), then uploaded to the cloud. So the editor never stalls without a connection and your data is not lost.

Across devices. Projects are tied to your account — sign in on another device and you will see and open the same projects. For more on offline behavior, see Offline Mode.

Panels made without an account. After signing in they are offered for saving to your account — see the "Working Without an Account" section above.

Version conflict. If the same panel was edited on two devices, ElectroBoard does not silently overwrite your changes — a Panel changed on another device dialog appears with a choice: Take from the other device or Keep my version. Until you choose, the editor stays usable and keeps saving locally — only the cloud upload is paused.

Backup File (.eboard)

Besides the cloud, a project can be saved to an .eboard file (the project menu — click the project name in the toolbar) and reopened later (import). This is useful for:

  • a local backup outside the cloud
  • transferring a panel to a colleague or another account

An .eboard file is a self-contained copy of the panel, independent of cloud sync.
