To exchange Designer content between systems or namespaces, or simply to create a copy of something, you can export and import the contents of the explorer tree. However, import and export are not equally allowed for all elements. The table below lists the available options for each element:

Exporting Explorer Content

If you want to export an element, for example to create a backup copy of your model, choose option Export from the context menu.

If you choose to export from a Folder or Service, you have the choice whether or not to include the libraries used in the export.

By default libraries are included in an export.

Click Export to confirm your choice and start the action.

During the export a message Generating file... is displayed.

A toast message also confirms the successful export.

Importing Explorer Content

If you want to import an element, for example to transfer a backup copy to another namespace, choose option Import from the context menu.

A pop-up Import will open.

Click button Browse to select the file you want to import.

The name of the chosen file is displayed.

If you want to change your selection, use button Change File.

If the correct file has been selected, start the import by clicking the Import button.

A toast message confirms the successful import.

Export files can contain necessary libraries. If you import an export file containing libraries, you will be notified by a pop-up notice.

Two different notes are possible:

  • Libraries imported successfully: The listed library versions have not been available in the namespace and have been imported successfully.
  • Libraries already present in the namespace: The library version to be imported is already present in the namespace, and is therefore ignored. This applies to libraries of the same version, no matter if the imported library has the same or a different timestamp.

    Info

    Please check the imported service for functionality as the existing library will be assigned to the new service.
