# Exporting a Batch Sequence

A Batch Sequence can be exported from one controller and imported to another.

Export and Import are only possible if they are performed on the same controller, or different controllers running the same software version and controller type.

When you export an existing batch sequence, any programs and modes associated with the batch sequence are also exported. These configurations are only copies and can be changed as per requirements.

1. In the Plant structure , select a controller from the list.

2. On the menu bar, select the Batch Sequence tab . The workspace displays a list of all the current batch sequences.

3. Select the check box of the Batch Sequence to be exported.

4. Select Manage, and then choose Export from the drop-down menu.

   A browser window opens for saving the export file.

5. The default file name is <BatchSequenceName>.json, the exported file can be given any name with the *.json extension.
   Select Save.
