# Exporting a project

You can export a project as a ZIP archive. This export will include not only the notebook file but all files you can see in the **File Browser** window. This enables you to run your notebook locally as long as you have a matching environment.

## Getting started {#before-begin}

Open the DataSphere project:

1. Select the project in your community or on the DataSphere [home page](https://datasphere.yandex.cloud) in the **Recent projects** tab.
1. Click **Open project in JupyterLab** and wait for the loading to complete.
1. Open the notebook tab.

Make sure to save the changes. The last saved state will be exported.

1. Right-click the **File Browser** window to open the context menu.
1. In the window that opens, click **Download Current Folder as an Archive**.

    Wait for the ZIP archive with the project to download.
