Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Sunflower?
Copy the sunflower config folder with the app closed. JSON config plus user plugins travel together. Restoring means putting the folder back before launch.
Dot folder or XDG paths?
Legacy installs used a dot folder that auto-migrates forward. Current builds follow XDG config. Trust the XDG path on fresh setups.
