Overview
Using the Import or Export feature, you can either import the board details into SwiftKanban or export the board details to a zip folder on your system.
Note that you can import or export only one Board at a time. The data for custom fields in the card types is also exported.
Export Board
To export board details and cards for a particular board:
- Navigate to the list of boards by clicking the Boards menu on the toolbar.
- Click a board to select exporting and click the Export icon on the toolbar.
- In the Export window, enter the name of the file for saving the file on your system.
- Click Submit.
Note that the export process for cards will fail if the card type name contains any of these special characters — [ ] ? / *.
The file is downloaded to your system. When you open the file, you will see that the zip folder includes a ‘Text Document’ that contains the board information, and other information i.e. User Stories, Defect, Issues, and other custom card types containing details of cards.
