Export Your Workspace as an Archive

When you export an extension, the exported archive contains the files in your workspace's branch of the extension's Git repository.

You may want to export an extension so that someone else can import it when creating a workspace or when replacing source files in their existing workspace. In this way, you can collaborate with other team members by giving them a copy of your local Git repository.

To export an extension when working in a workspace, click Menu in the upper right corner and select Export.

  1. Click Go to project page icon at the top left of the header to get to the VB Studio navigator.
  2. Click Workspaces in the VB Studio left navigator.
  3. Click a workspace's Actions menu and select Export Application Extension:
