Using Import/Export
This page is about Time to SLA for Jira Cloud. Using Jira On-Prem? Click the On-Prem button above.
By using the Import/Export function, you can utilize SLAs that exist in another service project. This prevents you from losing important data while transitioning from one instance to another.
With the Export function, you can:
Take a backup of your SLA configuration and calendars
Copy your configurations and calendars from this instance to another Jira instance
Transfer changes from a test environment to your product environment
With the Import function, you can:
Restore from backup
Import configurations from another instance
Apply changes from your test environment

Select how you’d like to merge imported configurations with existing ones.
Select and match the components you want to import.
On the Summary screen, check if there are any mistakes in your selections. After you make sure everything is as it should be, click Import.
Once the process is done, it will look like this and the imported configurations will appear on your related screens:
Keep in mind that how the SLAs are set up in the source project will have an effect on the performance of the import!
