| |
|
| | In this chapter, you will learn how to export and import workflows. |
| |
|
| | ## Exporting and importing workflows |
| |
|
| | You can save n8n workflows locally as JSON files. This is useful if you want to share your workflow with someone else or import a workflow from someone else. |

| | |
| | You can export and import workflows in three ways: |
| | |
| | * From the **Editor UI** menu: |
| | * Export: From the top navigation bar, select the three dots in the upper right, then select **Download**. This will download your current workflow as a JSON file on your computer. |
| | * Import: From the top navigation bar, select the three dots in the upper right, then select **Import from URL** (to import a published workflow) or **Import from File** (to import a workflow as a JSON file). |
| | * From the **Editor UI** canvas: |
| | * Export: Select all the nodes on the canvas and use ++ctrl+c++ to copy the workflow JSON. You can paste this into a file or share it directly with other people. |
| | * Import: You can paste a copied workflow JSON directly into the canvas with ++ctrl+v++. |
| | * From the command line: |
| | * Export: See the [full list of commands ](/hosting/cli-commands.md) for exporting workflows or credentials. |
| | * Import: See the [full list of commands ](/hosting/cli-commands.md#import-workflows-and-credentials) for importing workflows or credentials. |
