Abstract

• Export All Applications
• Export One Application

You can export Applications, Storages, Data, and Folders from your current Domain to another Domain in the same eLegere installation or in a different one.

Learn how to export either all the Applications, Storages, Data, and Folders or just an individual application. In both cases, Home will prepare a file in .eap format containing everything you chose to export.

Info

The .eap file contains everything you exported. See Import Applications and Storages in a New Domain to learn how to import Applications, Storages, Data, and Folders through the .eap file.
