The "Local" persistence location stores values as local objects under $LocalBase:

The "FrontEndSession" persistence location stores values in the running Wolfram Notebook front end:

The "Cloud" persistence location stores values as cloud objects:

The "KernelSession" persistence location maintains values in the kernel:

The "FrontEndSession" persistence location stores values in the running Wolfram Notebook front end:

The "Local" persistence location stores values as local objects under $LocalBase:

The "LocalShared" persistence location stores values as local objects under $BaseDirectory:

The "Installation" persistence location provides default values:

The "Cloud" persistence location stores values as cloud objects:

The "Notebook" persistence location stores values inside a kernel's evaluation notebook:

Specify an alternate "KernelSession" location by giving a symbol name as the second argument:

Specify an alternate local location by giving the base directory as the second argument:

The alternate base can be given with a local object:

Specify an alternate cloud location by specifying a cloud directory as the second argument:

Site administrators with write permission in $BaseDirectory can add values to the "LocalShared" location:

Add a value to the writable variant of the shared local location:

All users can now see this value:

Persistent symbols stored at "KernelSession" are lost when the kernel is restarted:

Persistent symbols stored at "FrontEndSession" survive a kernel restart, as long as the front end is running:

The current default location for storing persistent symbols is a persistence location:

The current search path for obtaining persistent symbols is a list of persistence locations:

Find all objects stored in a persistence location:

Delete them:

Alternatively, use DeleteObject on the persistence location:

The default $PersistencePath does not include the cloud location:

Adding the cloud location to the search path may introduce network delays for persistent object access:

The "LocalShared" persistence location is normally read-only:

The "Installation" persistence location allows adding new values but not removing any values:
