5. Frequently Asked Questions
Why haven't I received my export email?
Export emails are usually delivered within 1 to 2 minutes. Please be sure to check your Spam or Promotions folder. If you still do not see it, verify that your registered email address on your profile is up to date.
What should I do if my download link expired?
Download links expire after 10 minutes for security. If the link has lapsed, you can request a fresh export once the 24-hour interval has passed.
Does restoring an export delete any current watch records?
No. FlixNChill uses non-destructive merge logic. Existing titles and ratings stay intact, while unrecorded titles and additional episode progress are merged in.
Can I read the exported data file outside of FlixNChill?
Yes. Your export file is formatted in clean, open standard JSON. You can open and view it with any text editor or developer tool.
