This page is a redirect. Depending on your version of Grooper, you may be looking for one of the following pages:


Grooper allows you to export Grooper objects from a Grooper Repository as a zip archive file.  You can then bring in those objects into a Grooper Repository (such as one you are ''not'' connected to) by importing the zip file.
* Version 2021 and older: [[2021:Import or Export Grooper Objects]]
* Version 2022: [[2022:Import or Export Grooper Objects]]
* Version 2023 and later: [[Download or Upload Grooper Objects]]


The process is straightforward, but there are a few things to watch out for.

For this example, we have an '''[[IP Profile]]''' batch named "Sample IP Profile - Layout Data" that we want to export from this Grooper repository and import it into another.
 
# To export a single object, all you need to do is right click the object in the Node Tree you want to export.
#* Here, we have right clicked the '''IP Profile''' named "Sample IP Profile - Layout Data"
# Select "Share..." and "Export to Zip Archive..."
# The following window will pop up to configure your export.
# Use the '''''Filename''''' property to name the zip file and choose the folder location where you want to save it.
#* The filename will default to the name of the object you are exporting.

The following window will appear.
 
# Choose the folder location you want to save your zip file.
# Name the file whatever you would like.
#* The filename will default to the name of the object you are exporting.
#* It's generally a good idea to at least include the major version of Grooper you are using in the filename (i.e. 2.80 or 2.90).  You ''cannot'' import an exported Grooper zip of differing major versions.
# Press the "Save" button.

You will then return to the previous window.
 
# Press the "Execute" button to export the file to the zip archive.
# The following window will appear, indicating the export was successful.  Press "Ok".

You can find the zip file wherever you chose to save it.

=== Exporting Multiple Objects ===
{|cellpadding=10 cellspacing=5
|valign=top style="width:40%"|
You can also easily export multiple objects to a single zip archive.
 
For example, what if we wanted to export the "Sample IP Profile - Layout Data" '''IP Profile''' as well as this '''Batch''' named "Sample Batch"?

[[File:Import-and-Export-Grooper-Objects-05.png]]
|-
|valign=top style="width:40%"|
The starting point is much like an export of a single object.
 
# Right click one of the objects you want to export. 
#* Here, we are right clicking the '''IP Profile'''.
# Select "Share" and "Export to Zip Archive..."
# Select the '''''Items to Export''''' property.
# Press the ellipsis button at the end
|
[[File:Import-and-Export-Grooper-Objects-06.png]]
|-
|valign=top style="width:40%"|
This will bring up a window allowing you to select multiple objects in your Node Tree.
 
# Expand out the Node Tree to find the location of the object you want to export.
#* Here, we have a '''Test Batch''' located in the following location
#* <code>Batch Processing > Batches > Test</code>
# Check the box next to the object you want to export. 
#* Here, we checked the box next to the '''Batch''' named "Sample Batch".
#* You may select as many objects as you wish to export.  Simply repeat the process of finding them in the Node Tree and checking the box next to the object.
# Press the "Ok" button when finished.
