Profile Editor export

Export a Profile Editor project when you want to back up a Profile Editor project for re-use in another instance of the Profile Editor. This is useful when you have custom tags and custom devices that you want to share in other projects. After you export a project, you can import it to another Profile Editor project.

To back up a project file, see Backing up a project.
