Export to File

Export to File lets you download your sketch data (JSON) after saving. This is useful for backups, sharing with support, or working with your data outside of ApProsal.

Where to Find Export to File

The export option is available at the top of the save screen after you save a sketch.

  1. 1. Save your sketch.
    Click the Save icon in the upper left of the sketch window. The sketch is saved immediately.
  2. 2. Use the Export to File option.
    At the top of the save panel, click Export to file (JSON).

Default Filename & Download

ApProsal generates a default filename for the exported file based on the sketch. You can keep it or override it before saving.

Default Name

  • A suggested filename is automatically provided.
  • It typically reflects the sketch name and/or project context.
  • This helps keep exported files organized on your system.

Override Before Save

  1. When your browser’s save dialog appears, you can edit the filename.
  2. Choose the folder where you want to store the file.
  3. Confirm to download the JSON file to your computer.

The exported file does not affect the sketch stored in ApProsal. It is an external copy of your sketch data.

How the Exported File Is Used

The exported JSON file contains the data for the current sketch state at the time of export.

  • Keep it as a local backup copy of your sketch data.
  • Share with your internal team or technical support if requested.
  • Use it as a source for any external tooling or analysis you may build.
