Move and Share Projects as Portable Files

The Need for Portable Projects

Automations are valuable assets. Losing one to a disk failure or accidental deletion can erase hours of work. Sharing a workflow with a teammate should not require rebuilding it on their machine. RTILA X addresses both needs with a portable project file format.

The .rtila format stores the complete automation definition, including commands, selectors, variables, integration settings, and project metadata. You can back up your library, migrate to another machine, or send a project to a collaborator as a single file.

Exporting a Project

Export is available from the project menu. RTILA X bundles everything needed to restore the workflow, including sensitive settings that are part of the project. Before sharing an export with someone outside your team, review which variables and credentials are included.

The exported file is self-contained and can be stored alongside your other project backups. Many teams keep both local .rtila backups and git-based or cloud-based copies for additional safety.

Importing a Project

Import restores a .rtila file into RTILA X. You choose the destination folder and confirm the import. The project appears with its commands, settings, and variables ready to run. If the original project used file paths that do not exist on the new machine, you may need to update those paths after import.

Because imports are standard projects, you can edit them normally after restoration. They are not locked into read-only copies.

Using Imports for Templates and Client Work

Exported projects can function as templates. A freelancer can maintain a standard client onboarding automation and export it as a starting point for each new client. After import, the new project can be renamed and adjusted without affecting the original.

Resellers can also use exports to move source projects between machines before compiling standalone bots. This portability keeps your automation assets available even as hardware or workspace setups change.
