## Export

You can export annotated datasets from your modern project and:

* Import them into another modern project from a different tenant or organization.
* Import them into a classic project. For more information on how to import datasets into a classic project, check the [Document Understanding User Guide](https://docs.uipath.com/document-understanding/automation-cloud/latest/classic-user-guide/document-manager-import-documents) for classic projects.
  :::note
  Datasets exported from modern projects are compatible with classic projects only when training on model version 23.4.0 or newer.
  :::

### Export data

If you want to import your project to a different tenant or organization, or backup your project, export the dataset.

1. Go to the Publish section in your project.
2. Navigate to the Export tab.
3. Select Export data.
   :::note
   Make sure that you have a project version created for the dataset you want to export.
   :::
4. Choose the document type you want to export from the Document type drop-down list.
5. Choose the project version you want to export from the Project Version drop-down list.
6. Select Export.

Once the export job is started, the dataset is being prepared for download. Once ready, a pop-up message is displayed with a Download button. Select the button to download your dataset.

You can also download the dataset at a later time or delete it from the three-dot menu next to the project version you want to download.

## Import datasets

Once you have an exported dataset, you can import it into a different project. For more information on how to export datasets, check the [Export](https://docs.uipath.com/document-understanding/automation-suite/2024.10/user-guide/migrating-existing-modern-projects#export) section from the **Publish** page.

1. Navigate to and open the project into which you want to import data.
2. Select **Add document type** and create a new custom document type.
   :::note
   You can only import zip datasets directly in a document type.
