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.

Exporting an app is easy - click on the three dots next to the app's name to access its settings and 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.
