Import and export workflows
Learn how to import and export a workflow.
You can import and export workflows to share them across your organization. Importing and exporting is also useful for copying workflows between cloud and self-hosted Retool instances.
The JSON export of a workflow contains its blocks, queries, etc. After importing a workflow, verify that blocks, queries, and their resources are correctly configured.
If you export a workflow and import it into a different Retool organization, you must create any required resources.
