Short answers to the usual questions

Something else? Write to hello@justincasefolder.com; a real person answers within one working day, Monday to Friday. Please never send us your folder or your answers file.

Using the organizer

I closed the tab and my answers are gone.
Unless “Remember my answers on this device” was ticked or you saved an answers file, the answers lived only in that tab. Sorry, there is no copy anywhere: we never had one. Next time, tick the box on the first step or save a file at the end of each sitting.
Where is my answers file?
Wherever your browser puts downloads, named just-in-case-folder-answers.json. Move it next to your other private documents. Load it on the first step of the organizer (“Load a saved answers file”).
The file will not load.
The organizer refuses files it did not make, and files from a newer version it does not understand. Nothing is changed when a load fails. If the file is ours and still refuses, tell us which version of the site you used; do not send the file.
Can I reorder the people to call?
Yes: “Move up” and “Move down” under each contact. The order on the page is the order to call.

The PDF

The PDF will not build.
Try the free preview first; if that fails too, the browser is probably very old or in a restricted mode. Try a current Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox, or another device with your answers file. Your answers are unchanged either way.
Where did the PDF go?
To your browser’s downloads, named Just-in-Case-Folder-… with the paper size in the name. On a phone, look in the Files app (iPhone) or the Downloads folder (Android).
Some characters show as question marks.
The folder uses one font chosen for legibility; a few rare characters or emoji are outside it and are replaced by “?” rather than silently dropped. Rewrite those words in plain letters.
Which paper size?
A4 in most of the world; US Letter in the United States and Canada. Large print makes the text bigger and the folder longer.

Buying and the unlock

I paid but the export still says preview.
The unlock is per device. Open the link from your confirmation email on the device you are using; it unlocks there. No email? Get the link again at Lost your link? using the email you paid with.
I want to use it on my parents’ computer too.
Open the same unlock link there. It works on more than one device for two years.
I bought the printable folder; where is the ZIP?
In your confirmation email and on the page after payment. The link works for 30 days; renew it any time at Lost your link?.
I want a refund.
See refunds: one email with your order reference.
