Using Recovery Assistant

Safely recover, back up, diagnose, or reset CYC Annotate.

Recovery Assistant

Recovery Assistant is a beta tool. Export your data before restoring or resetting.

Recovery Assistant restarts CYC Annotate in a dedicated recovery mode. Use it to restore data, create backups, diagnose problems, or reset the app safely.

It opens in its own window. CYC Annotate closes its normal windows while recovery mode is active.

Open Recovery Assistant

1. Right-click the CYC Annotate tray icon.

2. Select Help → Recovery Assistant.

3. Wait for CYC Annotate to restart in recovery mode.

Alternatively, you can do WIN + R or type in your browser cyc-annotate://recovery.

Leave recovery mode

Choose Exit Recovery Assistant from the main menu. You can also press Esc.

Confirm the prompt to restart CYC Annotate normally.

Choose the right option

• Use back up and recover data to create or restore a backup.

• Use diagnostics and system information to investigate an issue.

• Use reset options only when you need to remove data or preferences.

Diagnostics identify problems. Import, restore, and reset actions change data.
