  1. In your source instance, select Manage Apps from the Jira Administration menu then select Export Projects under Project Configurator in the left sidebar. This displays the Export Projects screen.

  2. Select one or more projects from the Projects to Export drop-down list, or select the Export Select All Projects checkbox to export all of your projects.

  3. Select the Export mode. Options include Configuration Only or Complete Project. This selection applies to all of the selected projects. The first option only exports a project’s configuration (workflows, issue types, schemes, etc.), while the second option also exports the project’s issues.

Options

The Export Projects screen displays default options depending on whether you select Configuration Only or Complete Projects.

  • BDI1-ZH19-A0IA-E1XU is the server ID of the instance where the export was run.

  • _4_PROJECTS is displayed in this example because 4 projects are selected. It will state the project key if only one project is selected or ALL if you select all projects.

  • The file extension is .xml for configuration-only exports and .zip for complete project exports.

Attachments Migration Mode

This option is available if you select the Complete Projects Export Mode.

  • Automatic: Project Configurator embeds all necessary attachments for the selected projects into the same ZIP file that contains the project configuration and data.

  • Manual: This is recommended for larger instances with several issues and attachments. The exported ZIP file will not contain any attachments. You will need to move them manually to the target server before importing the projects. Our knowledge base article on manual attachment migration provides more information about this process.
