Export objects as protected

The export objects workflow is the same as for all objects with the exception of specifying the export of selected objects as protected.

To protect objects on export

1. In the Template folder or an Application view, select one or more objects to export.

2. On the ribbon, select Galaxy, then select Export.

3. Select Objects, then Selected as protected. The Export Automation Object(s) dialog box appears.

4. In the Export dialog box, browse to a path and type a name for the exported file.

5. Select Save. The file is saved with the specified name and an .aaPKG extension.

6. When the export is complete, select Close.

   Now you can import the .aaPKG file into another existing Galaxy.
