# Exporting a project

You can create a project in QGIS from local files or other sources and export it to JMap Cloud. 

1. To export a project, click on Web → JMap Cloud → Export project to open the export project dialog. This dialog is used to export the current project. 
2. Enter a name for the project that will be created in JMap Cloud.
3. Click on Export project. The progress of the project exportation will be displayed. 
4. You can cancel the process by clicking Cancel.

When the project is successfully created in JMap Cloud, all layer data, styles, layer structure, label configuration and popup configuration will be replicated in JMap Cloud.
