Whimsical is boards cloud with device viewing. Flowcharts, wireframes, and docs live in your workspace account. Phones and computers cache views and previews.
Same login plus workspace means same boards. Exact cache names shift with releases. Keep online during edits so versions upload. If boards vanish, check the workspace picker first. A personal versus client workspace split is the usual empty dashboard cause. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later. Check the in app storage readout when sizes look wrong on different releases.

How do I move Whimsical boards to a new device?
Sign in on the new device with the same email and workspaces return from the cloud. Devices hold login and view cache only. Boards read from account. Check the workspace before wiping, since a second email shows empty and hides flowcharts.
Does Whimsical keep board history?
Yes, in Whimsical cloud with version history per board. Devices hold a working copy plus preview cache. Views rebuild after sign in. Export PNGs from boards for records, since devices never hold the master canvas alone.
