Saving and exporting¶
The Export tab on the right twopy sidebar holds every save and export action.
Save ROIs + analysis¶
Click Save ROIs + analysis to save the active recording’s ROIs and the full response analysis. twopy writes the following files beside the current local converted recording:
rois.h5— the ROI masks.analysis_outputs.h5— the ROI masks, dF/F traces, grouped responses, per-ROI scale factors, and QC scores. It also contains the response window, dF/F, smoothing, normalization, and QC settings.response_heatmaps.h5— the heatmap data shown in the Heatmaps tab.exports/csvs/response_summary_trials.csv— per-trial flat table.exports/csvs/response_summary_grouped.csv— per-epoch grouped table.
The save uses the same response window, smoothing, and normalization values you see in the Plot tab.
Cache sync¶
With analysis_caching: true, twopy saves locally first. This is the default setting. A background worker copies changed analysis files and converted HDF5 files to the final output folder. This folder is usually analysis_output. A manual source load outside data_paths uses the recording twopy/ folder. A manual converted load outside data_paths uses the selected folder. The Metadata tab shows the local path, final path, and copy result. After a successful PDF or PNG copy, twopy deletes the local cache copy.

All export folders live beside the converted recording. Export PDFs and PNGs follow the same local-save-then-copy flow as the saved analysis files when caching is on.
Reload after editing elsewhere¶
If a teammate updated analysis_outputs.h5 on the network, you can pull it back into the open view with Reload saved analysis on the Load tab. It also rereads the saved ROIs.
