Project import and export

Project export packages a project and its tests into an encrypted .rima archive; import restores that archive into a workspace.

This reference explains the term, its purpose, a practical example, common use cases, where it appears in Rima, and the closest product visual.

Definition

Project export packages a project and its tests into an encrypted .rima archive; import restores that archive into a workspace.

What it is for

It provides a portable backup and a controlled way to move a project between workspaces or Rima installations.

How it works

Export packages the project and its tests into an encrypted .rima archive protected by a passphrase you choose.
Import accepts the archive plus the same passphrase and creates a new project with the imported tests.
Both actions are available from the dashboard project cards and the Projects page.

Example

Export a project with a passphrase, send the archive to another workspace owner, and import it there with the same passphrase.

Common use cases

Back up a project.
Move tests between workspaces.
Share a reusable test pack.
Copy a project into a training account.

Where to find it

Use Export on a project card and Import project on the dashboard or Projects page.

Limitations, requirements, and permissions

The export passphrase must be at least 8 characters; it is not stored and cannot be recovered, and without it the archive cannot be imported.
Import requires create/import permission and an eligible plan, and always creates a new project rather than merging into an existing one.
