# Sharing Spaces

> Package a space for others — share the config, or hand off a full bundle with history and memory.

A space bundle is a single `.zip` containing the full configuration, run history, attached skills, and optionally the space's narrative memory. Hand it to a teammate or carry it to another machine — the recipient imports the `.zip` and the space lands ready to run.

## Export a space

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your space">
    Click any space in the Studio sidebar to open it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the export menu">
    Click the **···** menu in the top right of the space.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what to include">
    Pick one of:

    * **Download space** — configuration, run history, and attached skills. Memory not included.
    * **Download space with notes & memory** — same as above, plus the space's narrative memory.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the bundle">
    Friday writes a single `.zip` to your downloads folder. Hand it off
    however you like — email, shared drive, chat, USB.
  </Step>

<Note>
  Bundles include run history and (optionally) memory, which may contain
  details from your previous sessions. Review the contents before sharing
  outside your team.
</Note>

Credentials never travel with the bundle — API keys and OAuth tokens are stored separately by the Link service. The recipient connects their own accounts after import. See [Security](/security) for how Friday handles secrets.

## Import a space

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Backup & restore">
    In the Studio sidebar, click **Settings**, then open the **Backup &
    restore** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import the bundle">
    Click **Import a space** and select the `.zip` you received.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect accounts">
    Open the imported space and follow its README — usually a short list of
    services to sign in to (Google, Slack, etc.). Friday prompts for any
    integrations the space uses.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Imports are non-destructive. If you already have a space with the same
  name, Friday adds a timestamp suffix so you can merge manually.
</Tip>
