Export deleted components

You can download a copy of content stored in Inspire projects as a way to back up important content or to move it to another application that Inspire doesn't communicate with.

Deleted components are stored in a Deleted Items folder. You can find this folder by going to the Components browser and in the Folders pane, looking for the first folder listed.

Exporting one file scenarios:

  • If you export one component only and no references, the component isn't packaged in a ZIP file. Exporting a single component without references uses the following naming format:

    {ComponentFileName}.xml

    • For example, Cloud_Computing_fd22225c-846f-4ed1-be0c-20a10e4e7f67.xml.

  • If you export only one component and include references, the components are packaged in a ZIP file. Exporting a single component with references uses the following naming format:

    Export-{ComponentName}-DateTime.zip

    • For example, Export-Cloud_Computing-2024-12-27-051608.zip.

Exporting multiple file scenarios:

If you export more than one component, regardless of whether you include references, the files are packaged in a ZIP file. Exporting multiple components uses the following ZIP name:

Exports-DateTime.zip

  • For example, Exports-2024-12-27-050426.zip.
  • No Component Name is included.
