# Export and Import Survey from Collect Earth Online

Asked by lcampos84 on 2025-07-11

A survey generated in CEO through Project A needs to be shared with a new Project B to use the same survey for a project with different quantification objectives. I've verified that this process can be done with Collect Earth Desktop, but I can't find a suitable method for Collect Earth Online.
This survey sharing process can be done through CEO. What would be the process to follow?

Hello,

If Project B has already been created, then this would not be possible. However, if it hasn't, you can clone Project A by using it as a template. [Here are instructions for how to do this](https://collect-earth-online-doc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project/projectoverview.html#use-a-project-template-optional). 

I hope this helps! Please let me know if this doesn't answer your question. 

Best,

Shanna

> That's true. If the project is being created and published, it can be cloned based on a previous one within the same institution. On the other hand, my question is, how do I specifically export the survey design generated for a particular project within institution A to import it into a new project within a new institution? I've reviewed details of how it's used for Collect Earth desktop processes, but I haven't seen anything similar with Collect Earth Online. I appreciate your comment; if you have anything additional, I'll be happy to hear about it. (lcampos84)

Hello,

There are a couple ways you may be able to do this. If you make the project public, it should make it accessible between the Institutions. Alternatively, you can also import project from the Collect Earth desktop application.

I hope this helps!
