Cloud opt-in

Cloud stays off until you opt in. The .oma remains on disk. File → Sign in is the browser approval. Push project + review export is the upload. Unpublished work stays out of the gallery.

Sign in identity

File → Sign in… opens a browser device code. Approve only the code the desktop is showing. The site account holds the name and email. A name in a file does not, by itself, grant cloud access.

Enable sync invite

Push project + review export uploads a versioned .oma and a flat PNG, then you save so the cloud link stays in the file. Owners invite a verified email as editor or reviewer. Other drafts on disk stay local.

Collaborator project view

/project/:id opens the signed-in workspace for that project. Pin, reply, and resolve on a flat export. Layout pins on the canvas stay with the frame. Without OMADESIGN_CLOUD_URL the desktop keeps ~/.local/share/omadesign/cloud-store.json.
