2. You have the choice to export your portfolio content as HTML code or a Leap2A file. It is recommended that you export both versions so that you have more than one option when importing your portfolio content to another site.

  • Standalone HTML website is the best option if you wanted to use your cuPortfolio content on a personal website that is not powered by Mahara. It saves a zip file on to your computer. There is an index.html file in the folder. If you click on this file, it will open up a webpage in your browser. This webpage will not look the same as what your portfolio looks like in cuPortfolio. You will see basic text and formatting details that you can copy and transfer to another website.
  • Leap2A is the best option if you wanted to quickly transfer your portfolio without losing content and formatting. In order to import this type of file, you must have an account with a Leap2A compliant system. For instructions on how to import your Leap2A file into one of these systems, visit the Mahara User Guide instructions on how to Import.

3.  Choose if you would like to export some or all of your data. If you choose “Just some of my pages” or “Just some of my collections”, you will need to select which pieces you would like to export.

4. Click Generate export.

5. Save the file on to your computer. Use this file when importing to a new system.
