# Importing/Exporting Apps

Airkit allows apps to be imported and exported, regardless of which [Org](../../administration/airkit-organizations) they were originally built in. This serves as a means to clone or otherwise duplicate applications.

## Exporting an Application

1. Open the app you want to export in the Studio.
2. Click on the three-lined button on the top left side of the Studio and select **Export**.

The application will be downloaded to your device as a .zip file.

2. A pop-up will display for you to drag and drop or browse in your computer for the downloaded app. Choose the .zip file and select **Import**:

The imported app will then open in the Studio.

> 📘 When you import an application that has [App Objects](../../working-with-data/working-with-data-overview/airdata/airdata-app-objects) associated, you must save the application when in the Studio in order to initiate the migration.
