Import & Export Project Functionality in EasySLR
EasySLR allows project owners to export project data for backup, transfer, and import into another organisation for record-keeping or to continue work seamlessly.
What Does Exporting a Project Mean?
Exporting a project in EasySLR allows you to download project data in structured formats so it can be:
- Safely backed up
- Shared with collaborators
- Imported into another organisation in EasySLR, if needed
Note: EasySLR does not currently support a one-click full project migration between organisations.
What Can Be Exported?
You can export the following from a project:
1. Screening Decisions
- Title–Abstract decisions
- Full-Text decisions
- Reasons, tags, and reviewer details
- Conflict and QC-resolved outcomes
2. Data Extraction
- Extracted data
- Includes all configured DE fields
- Reviewer inputs and final values
3. Reports
- QC Report
- Articles sent to previous stage (Delete Decisions) report
- Screening statistics and audit logs
4. Settings
- All project-level settings
How to Export a Project
- Open your project
- Go to Settings
- Click on Project Actions
- Select Export Project
- You will receive the project files via email in a compressed (ZIP) format:
- Project file – contains all project data
- PDF Batch files – contains the PDFs
These files can later be uploaded into another project.
Importing Project into Another Organisation
To import the project:
- Open the destination Organisation home page
- Click the three dots next to the Add Project button
- Select Import Project
- Upload the ZIP file named project that was received via email
- EasySLR automatically maps the fields and imports the project data.
Importing PDFs
- PDFs can be uploaded and matched using RefId-based folder upload. For step-by-step guidance, refer to this help article:https://support.easyslr.com/portal/en/kb/articles/refid-uploads-in-easyslr
Important Notes
- Team members are not exported and must be added manually in the new project
- PDFs must be uploaded separately using the supported upload methods
