Import and Export a Project

  • 1 minute(s) read

Importing and exporting Projects, along with their related assets, allows users to easily share Projects within an organization. This feature simplifies collaboration by enabling users to transfer entire Projects, including processes, scripts, and screens.

  • Any user can import or export a Project, but certain permissions may be required. If you cannot import a Project, check your Project permissions or contact your Administrator.

  • The maximum allowed size for Project uploads is controlled by the internal variable PROJECT_IMPORT_MAX_SIZE. To adjust this limit, request assistance from a ProcessMaker support agent.
