Saved Locations keeps processed places in the browser you are using. It is a local history for this browser and device, rather than an account-synced archive.
What Saved Locations keeps
When a place is processed, Takeout Tools stores the resulting record locally using its URL as the cache key. Saved Locations lets you reopen those records, select records to export, or delete records you no longer want to keep.
The Saved Locations page appears in the sidebar after there is at least one saved record on this device.
Reusing processed places
If you upload a file that includes a place already stored in this browser, Takeout Tools can reuse that local record instead of processing it again. This can help when you return to the same work in a later browser session.
The cache is local to the browser. Do not rely on it as a backup or as a way to move records between browsers or devices. Export a file if you need to keep a separate copy.
Exporting and deleting records
- Open Saved Locations from the sidebar.
- Select the records you want to work with.
- Use the available export control to download the selected records, or delete the selected records from local history.
Deleting a record removes it from the Saved Locations history in that browser. You can also remove individual records from the table.
Practical advice
- Keep working in the same browser if you want to reuse its local history.
- Export records you want to keep outside the browser.
- Review a downloaded export before importing it into another app.
- Delete selected records from Saved Locations when you no longer need them on that device.
