Exporting ePortfolio items

When you export an item, you also export the item's description, tags, and settings. You do not export information about the user who created the item, users who left comments on the item, or assessments for the item. When you import an item, the system assumes that the item was created by the importing user.

With the exception of HTML presentations [1], you cannot export items for offline viewing. Exported items can only be imported into another Desire2Learn ePortfolio or systems that support the Desire2Learn ePortfolio XML format.

You can export your entire ePortfolio or specific items. If you export specific items, select Automatically include associated items to ensure you also export any related items you might want. If an item has multiple associations, it will only appear once in the exported zip file.
