Your data
Export everything you have built, or delete anything from a single fact to your whole account.
Take it with you
Everything you build in Mindola is yours. Open Settings then Export in the app to download your full mind - your facts, your sources, your spaces, your conversations.
You get a complete copy of what you have captured, in a portable format you can read and keep outside Mindola. There is no lock-in: a second brain you cannot take with you is not really yours.
Good moments to export:
- Before a big cleanup, as a safety net.
- On a regular schedule, if you like keeping your own backups.
- Any time you just want a copy.
Delete at any level
You can remove things at whatever scale you need:
- One item - delete a fact or source from your mind.
- A space - archive it to hide it, or delete it to remove it and what is inside. See Spaces.
- A lens - retire it from its page. The link stops working immediately, and visitors see a not-found page.
- Everything - open Settings then Danger zone to clear your data or delete your whole account.
Archive or delete
- Archive keeps something but pulls it out of active use. It stops showing in answers and stops reaching lenses, but it is not gone.
- Delete removes it for good.
When you are unsure, archive. When you are sure, delete.
Retiring a lens does not touch your mind
Retiring a lens only kills the share link. Everything the lens was built from stays safe in your mind, ready to power a new lens whenever you want.
Deleting your account
The Danger zone closes your account and removes your data. This cannot be undone, so export first if you want a copy.
