Export & import an app

With UI Bakery, you can export any of your applications as separate ZIP files and then move them to another UI Bakery account, if needed. This gives you more flexibility with your product and allows you to save and move your data without having to recreate apps across different workspaces. Let's dive into how you can do that.

Apps created with UI Bakery are not supposed to be downloaded. The exported file is only the data model of your app, not the code.

Exporting an application

1. Click on the three dots next to the app's name to access its settings.

2. Here, select the Export option.

That's it! The app will be downloaded as a ZIP archive, and you can use it to move your app to a different workspace.

Importing an application

1. In the target workspace, click Create new > Import from archive.

2. Upload a ZIP archive of the app exported from UI Bakery.

3. Next, click Import app.

The application will be imported to your workspace and you can access it right away.

Importing a linked GitHub repository

If you want to browse through more templates than are available on the website, you can also check our repository and use a template from it on your instance.

To import a template from the repo:

1. Fork your own copy of the template repository.

1. Download the copy as a ZIP archive.

2. In the target workspace, click Create new > Import from archive.

3. Upload the ZIP archive of the repo.

4. Click Import app.

The app will open in the Edit mode.

1. Next, connect your app to Git following this instruction.

That's it! Tailor the template to your specific requirements using UI Bakery's visual interface and deploy your application with ease.

Sometimes, while importing the app, you may get the following error:

It means that your UI Bakery version and app version differ causing a mismatch. To avoid issues like this, you should update your UI Bakery instance.
