In CycleSic, a layout stores a reusable configuration while a snapshot produces an image. Save a layout when you need to continue editing; create a snapshot to document what was visible at a particular time.
Transparency — Availability and limits can depend on the current session and profile. This page does not promise a number of saves or commercial entitlement.
| Function | Preserves | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | the supported asset, timeframe, view, indicator, drawing and preference state | resume a navigable configuration |
| Snapshot | an image of the visible panels | attach visual evidence to a journal or report |
Save and apply a layout
- Prepare asset, timeframe, view, indicators and drawings.
- Open Layout from the available bar or menu command.
- Choose the new-layout command, give it a clear purpose-based name and confirm.
- Reopen the manager and verify that the layout is listed.
To apply one, save the current work if needed, select the layout, wait for data and panels, then reread asset and timeframe. A lock or limit describes access rather than an analytical error.
CycleSic attempts to restore the saved viewport. If the stored candles are not in the currently loaded history, it can fit the view to available bars. Check whether indicators and drawings remain before assuming anything was lost.
Personal and official layouts
The interface can distinguish personal configurations from official Emiciclo layouts. An official layout may have different editing or read-only rules. Read the current state before changing or duplicating it.
Create a snapshot
- Make every required panel visible.
- Hide personal or unnecessary information.
- Select Snapshot or the camera icon.
- Wait for the preview.
- Choose Drawings: YES/NO when that control appears.
- Use Copy for the clipboard or Download for the PNG file.
Expected result: the preview appears and an image is produced with available context such as asset, timeframe and timestamp.
For a reproducible review, show the asset, timeframe, relevant time window, essential indicator names and only necessary drawings. Store a note with rationale, invalidation and date next to the image.
If it fails
- Verify the save completed and the same session is active if the layout is missing.
- Reset the chart if the layout opens at an unavailable point in history.
- Expand a panel before capturing if it is absent from the snapshot.
- Try Download and check browser clipboard permissions if Copy fails.
- Do not share an image that contains unintended personal information; capture it again.
