You can select specific items in your NVivo project and export them to a new project—this can be useful when you want to share only a specific portion or aspect of your NVivo project.
To export selected items to a new project:
Open the project that contains the items you want to export.
On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click Export and then click Export Project.
The Export Project Data dialog box opens.
Click Select and then choose the items you want to export on the Select Project Items dialog box.
Click Specify and then choose where you want save the copied project on the Export to Project dialog box:
Do one of the following:
To save as a standalone project, select NVivo Projects (*.nvp ) from the Save as type list, and then enter a name for the new project in the File name box.
To save as a server project, select NVivo Server Projects from the Save as type list, then select the server from the Connection name box, and then enter a name for the new project in the Project name box.
Click Save.
(Optional) Select the Include related data check box if you want to include annotations, 'see also' links and other related data.
Click Export.
If you are exporting a large project, the export may take a few minutes. You can monitor the progress of your export in the Status bar at the bottom of the NVivo window.
NOTE
The Connection name box is empty if you have not set up any server connections—click the Add button to create a new server connection using the Connection Properties dialog box.
If you cannot select NVivo Projects (*.nvp), check your connections. You need a standalone connection to create a new project on your computer.
