- Adjust the labelled controls or open Input/Geometry to change the evidence. Run workflow applies the current input; undo and redo restore text/settings decisions.
- Inspect the task preview, record details and method notes. Findings describe cases that need review; missing evidence remains unknown.
- Open Export for task artifacts, JSON/CSV results or a complete ZIP. Save project keeps input/settings; projects with local binary files need their original files to be reselected when reopened.

Questions & answers
What does Preservation Format Risk Register do?
Uses your declared dependency-risk and importance scales. It is not a live format-obsolescence database and does not infer that a proprietary format is unrecoverable.
What should I open or paste?
Use the editable worked example as the JSON structure, or open a local JSON/YAML text fixture. File inspectors accept their stated local formats. The worked example defines the supported input fields. Edit its values, run the workflow and inspect the method notes before exporting. Each selected file must be nonempty and at most 25 MiB, with at most 30 files and 80 MiB total. Image jobs use up to 12 still frames, six million pixels per image and 18 million total pixels. Individual format inspectors may apply stricter limits.
What results can I export?
The Export view includes the task-specific artifacts listed for your actual result, a typed JSON report, a CSV table and a complete ZIP. Save project stores editable input and settings; selected binary sources are represented by fingerprints and must be reselected. Secret-option values are excluded from saved projects.
Does it upload files, run commands or change a live system?
