ePortfolio – Import and export

The Import and Export tool enables you to add or move ePortfolio items for use in other ePortfolios. When you export items, you also export the item’s description, tags, and settings. You can export your entire portfolio content or specific items. If you export specific items, use the auto-include options to ensure you also export any related items you might want.

Auto-include options

Auto-include options appear at the top of the Select Items to Export page. They enable you to specify which types of related or associated items to export with the items you selected to export. If an item is included multiple times, it will only appear once in the export zip file.
