Cloud storage allows you to access your ArchForm patients from any device. Uploading a patient from the treatment planning software saves the patient to the dashboard and enables you to continue treatment planning from any other computer with the treatment planning software.
A patient created in the treatment planning software is stored locally automatically. They have an Unversioned or Modified ****tag in the Version button. If you make any changes to a patient after saving it to the cloud, the word Modified appears in the Versions button, indicating that changes are present only locally, and the patient should be uploaded again to update the cloud version.
Unversioned or version modified patient saved only locally
