# Sharing Projects and Backup

Thank you for your continued interest in the StackAI platform. Below is a quick, 4-step guide on how to move your projects from an existing university account into your personal account.

#### **1.** **Create a personal StackAI account**

You can create a personal StackAI account at <https://www.stack-ai.com/auth/signup>

#### **2. Export your existing projects**

Navigate to the folders where your projects are stored in. You can search for your folders by your name or email address.

Select **Export Project** from projects you would like to keep from the grid view.

#### **4. Check for connections and files**

If any collaborators at the university will still need access to your projects, ask them to duplicate the project as a template and share with others. Make sure to share the instructions in this email with others.

If your folder is private, you may need to share the folder with collaborators first.

The collaborators will be able to duplicate your projects by navigating to your folder.

**Note**: For projects duplicated by others in the university or transferred to your personal account, **any connected services** (e.g. Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc) that are tied to your university credentials will stop working once your university access is removed.

To keep these connections, transfer the documents into your personal storage (cloud or local) and re-establish these connections on your personal account.

Similarly, the collaborators at the university can transfer the documents into their personal storage and re-establish these connections.

If you have **Files** in the workflow, they will not transfer to the imported project. Click on the Files node and re-upload documents.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stackai.com/interface-and-deployment/end-user-interfaces/sharing-projects-and-backup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
