Export and import a pipeline

Export a pipeline to a .slp file, or import a previously exported pipeline into a project.

Export a pipeline

  1. In Designer, open the pipeline you want to export.
  2. In the Designer toolbar, click Export:
    Export button in the Designer toolbar Transfer section

    The pipeline is downloaded as a .slp file.

Import a pipeline

Importing a pipeline doesn't automatically bring in the assets it references. Before importing, review the following:

  • If the pipeline has child pipelines, import them before importing the parent.
  • If the pipeline references other pipelines, files, accounts, or tasks:
    • Leave references to assets in the global shared folder unchanged.
    • For assets in a project other than the destination:
      • If the reference to a file is an absolute path, don't change it.
      • If the asset is available in the destination project, update the reference after importing.
      • If the asset isn't in the destination project but exists in a shared folder, update the reference to that location after importing.
      • If the asset has a different label in the destination project, update the reference before importing.
  1. In the Designer toolbar, click Import:
    Import button in the Designer toolbar Transfer section

  2. Choose the .slp file from the file system.

    The Add New Pipeline dialog opens:
