# Export workflow template

You can export one or more data entry workflow templates to an XML file. For all selected workflow templates, the full configuration is exported to the XML file. You can use the XML file to import workflow templates into another D365 F&SCM environment.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data entry workflow** > **Design** > **Data entry workflow templates**.
2. In the list, find and select the desired workflow template(s).
3. On the **Action Pane**, click **General**.
4. Click **Export workflow template to file**.
5. You can change the default file name.

In the **Download** **file** field, type a value.
6. You can run the export in the background. So, you can continue work while the workflow template is exported.

If you do not run the export in the background, the created XML file is automatically downloaded.

Select **Yes** in the **Run in background** field.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> - If you have selected several workflow templates to be exported, **Run in background** is always '**Yes**' and you cannot change it.
> - Export files that are created when run in the background are stored. You can download these files when export is finished.
7. Click **OK**.
8. Close the page.
