You can download Swimlane applets. For example, you might want to export a specific applet in order to import it into another instance of Swimlane.

Swimlane applet exports include:

- All fields on the layout of the applet
- All workflow conditions and actions
- All reports associated with the applet
- Workspaces and dashboards associated with the applet

Components of applets that are not included as part of the download are:

- Cross-referenced applets (cross-referenced fields will be disconnected)
- Record export templates
- Applet history

To export an applet:

1. Load the **Applications and Applets** main page.
2. Find the applet that you want to export and then, from the drop-down menu on the applet, select **Export.**
3. The applet is exported to an .ssp file in your browser's default location.

   **Note:** When exporting an applet, if it includes a task that uses an asset and a plugin, all three—the task, asset, and plugin will be included in the .ssp file.

| Scenario                       | Best Practice                                                                    |

| Exporting Applet               | Export results in .ssp including tasks, assets, plugins.                         |
| Exporting Application + Applet | Export both separately. Use **overwrite** option on import to handle duplicates. |
