4️⃣ Case 4: Exporting a Map as a JSON File
-
The JSON file is the complete exchange format of Edumaps. It is suitable as a backup, for passing on by email or cloud, and for transferring to any account or server.
-
-
How to export:
-
- Open the map in edit mode (red pencil icon at the top right).
- Click the map menu (three dots) and choose "Export".
- Choose "Edumaps file (json)".
- The file is downloaded. The file name contains the date and the map title.
-
-
What the file contains:
-
- Map settings (title, format, background, tags)
- All columns and boxes with contents, colors, and settings
- Text fields and arrows on sticker walls
- References to uploaded files
-
The files themselves are not inside the JSON file. They are fetched from the source server during import. So do not delete the uploads of the original map as long as you still want to import the JSON file.
