You can export your portfolio to keep your files and Mahara-created content offline. You can create an export at any time and as often as you wish.

40.

Your export contains both HTML and Leap2A exports from Mahara 20.04 onwards.

41.

The **HTML export**: The zip file contains a website with your portfolio data. You cannot import this into Mahara or another portfolio system again, but it is readable in a standard web browser and you do not need a Mahara in order to view it. To view this website, extract the zip file and click on the ``index.html`` file that is in the folder.

42.

The theme that is applied to an exported portfolio is also exported.

43.

The **Leap2A export**: The zip file contains your data in the machine-readable `Leap2A standard format <http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/LEAP2A>`_. You can

44.

import this into another `Leap2A-compliant system <https://wiki.mahara.org/wiki/Developer_Area/Import//Export/Interoperability>`_.

45.

have it :ref:`imported by an administrator into your current Mahara site or another one <add_user>`. A new account is created during the import process.

46.

import it into your own account again in *Manage → Import*.

47.

The **PDF export**: If your :ref:`site allows PDF exports <pdf_export>`, then the export file will contain the respective PDFs as well. They contain links to embedded media, which are exported as well so that it is not just the PDF, but also the artefacts that are contained in the portfolios.

48.

The PDF export differs from the 'Print' option because it can export an entire collection or an entire account, and it exports also all artefacts. When a portfolio page is printed, a 'flat' PDF file can be created that is just the print output. However, if videos, audio, or any other files are included on the page, they become inaccessible whereas in the PDF export file they are available.
