Exporting a Test as a ZIP File
Exporting a test is useful when you want to:
- keep a backup before editing
- share a test with another admin or instructor
- move content from one install of the app to another
How to export a test
- Open Content Library.
- Find the test you want.
- Click the 3-dot menu on that row.
- Choose Export.
- In the native Save As window, choose where to save the file.
You can export both Draft and Published tests.
What gets saved
The app creates a .zip file.
Inside that ZIP, you will get:
- the test's JSON definition
- any linked images or audio files
- a folder named after the test
A simple example looks like this:
| Inside the ZIP | What it is |
|---|---|
| Test folder | A folder named after the test |
.json file | The full test content |
media files | Linked images or Listening audio |
What the confirmation means
After exporting, you should see a success message.
Sometimes you may also see a warning.
Warning toast
A warning usually means the ZIP was still created, but one or more linked media files could not be found. For example, an audio file may be missing.
Full failure
A full failure means the export could not be completed, so no finished ZIP was created.
Re-importing exported tests
Exports are designed for true round-trip use.
That means you can:
- export a test
- go to Import Dataset
- bring that file back in again
No manual edits are needed. Re-importing recreates the same test.
:::note Why this matters This makes export especially useful for backups, sharing finished content, and moving tests between installs without rebuilding them by hand. :::
Quick reminder
- export starts from Content Library
- the action is in the 3-dot menu
- the app opens a native Save As dialog
- both Draft and Published tests can be exported
- warnings do not always mean failure
