Overview
This tutorial covers how to complete "Upload, export and restore Project Zomboid saves" in the GSS console. The flow is built around visual actions — no command line, and every key step shows its impact and supports rollback.
i
Before you start: Make sure you've created a Project Zomboid server and can open the console. For data-affecting actions, create a backup under Saves first.
Steps
01
Create a backup first
Before acting, create a full backup on the Saves page.
02
Upload or pick a save
Upload an old world file or pick an existing restore point.
03
Confirm the overwrite prompt
The system shows the impact scope; high-risk actions need a second confirmation.
04
Run the restore
Online players will be disconnected and need to reconnect.
05
Verify the world
Enter the game to confirm progress and data are correct.
⚠
Note: This action may affect saves or online players. Confirm a backup exists before running; high-risk actions only take effect after a second confirmation.
