Exporting a Teamwork Project

If you want to carry the teamwork project to another computer for editing where the Teamwork Server is not available, you can use the export project function. After you have modified the project, you can use the import project function (described in the Importing a Teamwork Project section) to commit the changes you have made to the Teamwork Server once it is available.

To export a project:

1. Open the Teamwork Client. The way of opening a project vary with the product that you are using. Read Chapter 3 for how to run the Teamwork Client.

2. Perform one of the following:

   • Select Action > Export Teamwork Project from the menu.
   • Click on the Export Teamwork Project button on the toolbar.
