Viewing Local Storage Directly

This section only applies to browser Twine. It doesn't apply to the app version.

When things go wrong, it can be useful to get directly at the data Twine has stored in your browser. This data includes your stories, preferences, and installed story formats. You can view this data and even edit it using the developer tools built into most browsers.

The exact way to do it depends on the browser--here are instructions for some common ones:

• Mozilla Firefox
• Google Chrome
• Safari

Be careful when working with local storage, however. Just looking at what's in local storage, or copying and pasting out of it can't cause any harm. But adding even one stray extra character can cause Twine to be unable to read the data.
