In this section, we'll go over the basic ways to save and share our workflow.


******************************************
|floppy-o| Saving and |download| Exporting
******************************************

Saving and exporting our workflow is simple. We simply choose from our desired option under the File Menu, just like with most computer applications. There are a few options for saving and exporting which are mapped out in the following:

   Saving and Exporting Options

.. centered:: :sup:`Figure 1: Saving and Exporting Options`

1. Update/Save the current workflow
2. Save As: save the workflow with a new name 
3. Update and Close: update the workflow and then close out
4. Export (zip): export the workflow as a d3view workflow zip file. These files can be opened into any workflow canvas.
5. Export as Template JSON; export the workflow bare bones, with the just the workers and no extra data.

|download| Exporting a Workflow
================================

Export a workflow as a fully packaged ZIP file (1) which includes all input files or a JSON template file (2) which will be the workflow structure. Click the Export button at the top right and choose which option you prefer. Exported Workflows can easily be imported in the way mentioned here.

*******************
|history| Timeline
*******************

Under the tools menu at the bottom, we can view a timeline of all saved versions of our workflow.

From here, we can view different versions and replace, merge or duplicate them.
