# Export/Import workflows

## Exporting workflows

When you built your own workflows that work, it’s always a good idea to save them locally.

To do that:

1. Proceed to the <mark style="background-color:blue;">**“List of workflows”**</mark> page
2. Choose the workflow you want to backup
3. Click the <mark style="background-color:blue;">**“Export workflow”**</mark> icon

As a result, you’ll have a JSON file with the workflow that can be imported later.

## Importing workflows

Sometimes you need to restore the previous version of the workflow, create new workflows from templates outside or import it to a different Drafter AI instance.

To do that:

1. Proceed to the <mark style="background-color:blue;">**“List of workflows”**</mark> page
2. Click the <mark style="background-color:blue;">**“Import”**</mark> button at the top right of the page.
3. Drag-drop the JSON file of the workflow you exported/saved before to the ***Upload area***.
4. Click <mark style="background-color:blue;">**“Apply changes”**</mark>

Now your newly imported workflow appears in the list of workflows.
