To export an item from a project:

  1. Select one or more items.

  2. Select Item | Export to Project.

  3. In the Item Specification field, verify that you have selected the correct item(s) to export.

  4. Select the product and project you want to export the item(s) to. To export to your default project, select the Use Default Project check box.

  5. If you want the item to be located in a different folder from its folder location in the existing project, type the name of the folder where you want the item(s) to be placed in the New folder field. If this field is left blank the folder location will be the same as in the existing project. If the folder does not exist in the new project, it will be created.

  6. In the Track changes with request(s) field, enter or select any requests you want to use to track the refactoring operation, or leave this field blank if you want to use your project default request.
