You can export projects from Test Manager to a file to allow you to recreate the project later. Use this feature to:

* Transfer entire testing projects to different tenants or instances of Test Manager.
* Create backup copies of any of your projects.

## How it works

Exporting a project generates a TMH file that can be then [imported in another Test Manager instance](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/import-project#importing-into-an-existing-project-in-test-manager). This includes objects such as requirements, test cases, test sets, labels, custom fields, attachments, and automation information. The export process is done asynchronously, notifying when the export process is finished.
:::note
Users with a valid Test Manager license can export projects. For more information, check [User and Group Access Management](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-suite/2.2510/user-guide/managing-users-and-groups#user-and-group-access-management).

## Considerations

The export TMH file contains:

 <colgroup>
  <col/>
  <col/>
 </colgroup>
 
  
    Exported objects 
    Details 
  
 
 
  
    Test objects 
    When you export a project, you can choose the export TMH file to contain one or all of the following:
      
         Requirements 
         Preconditions 
         Test cases 
         Postconditions 
         Test sets (and their corresponding labels) 
         Object labels 
         Attachments 
         Custom field values (definitions are not exported) 
         Automation information for test cases, including linkage between a test case and an Orchestrator automation 
         Test results (available only if you export test cases) 
         Defects (available only if you export test results, exports only references) 
      

  
  
    Assignments between objects 
   
      
         Assignments between requirements and test cases 
         Static assignments between test cases and test sets 
         Since dynamic assignments to test sets are only resolved at the time of execution, dynamically assigned test cases are not exported along with the test sets. 
         Assignments between test objects and labels 
      

  
  
    Project information 
   
      
         Name 
         Prefix 
         Description 
      

  
 

## Prerequisites

To make sure that the export TMH file downloads successfully, set the `buffer response` setting in your API Management Gateway as `false`:

1. Access your API Management Gateway system.
2. Locate the API endpoints that finish with `/download`. You want to set the buffer response to `False` only for API endpoints that have `download` as the API response.
3. Check out the official documentation for your API Management Gateway system. For example, if you use Microsoft Azure, check out the [official documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/forward-request-policy), to learn how to change the `buffer-response` setting from `true` to `false`.

## Exporting a project from Test Manager

1. Sign in to Test Manager.
2. Choose the project you want to export, and select **More Options**. The **Export Project** panel opens.
3. Select the test objects that you want to include in the export file, and then select **Export**.
4. Wait for the export process to finish and select the **Project Export Completed** notification that you receive via the notifications panel or via email. The export TMH file downloads automatically. In case the download doesn't start automatically, select **Download**.
