FAQ: How can I move nodes from one experiment to another?
#1
You can easily reuse nodes, connections, and entire sequences across different Experiment Builder projects. There are two primary methods: Copy and Paste and Export/Import.
  • Method 1: Copy and Paste
    This is the simplest method for moving components between two projects that you have open at the same time.
    1. In the first project, highlight the node(s) or sequence you want to move.
    2. Copy the selection (e.g., using Ctrl+C or Cmd+C).
    3. In the second project, paste the selection (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) into the desired location in the graph.
  • Method 2: Export and Import as an .ebo File
    This method is ideal for saving a component to use later or for sharing with colleagues.

    Exporting a Node
    1. Select the node(s) or sequence you wish to export.
    2. Right-click the selection and choose Export Node.
      Note: If your exported sequence uses resources stored in your library, you will be prompted to decide whether to include those resources in the export.
         
    3. Save the component as an .ebo file.
    Importing a Node
    You can import an .ebo file in two ways:
    1. Right-click on the desired location in the new project's graph and select Import Node.
    2. Drag and drop the .ebo file directly from your computer into the new project's graph.
    3. ⚠️ Important: Check References After Importing
      After you import an .ebo file, you must double-check the properties of the imported nodes.
      • Broken References: Any property that refers to a variable or resource that doesn't exist in the new project will be broken. These values will be highlighted in red with an "Invalid Reference..." error. You will need to fix these references manually.
      • External References: If you export a sequence that contains nodes referencing variables located outside of that sequence, Experiment Builder will remove those references during the export and provide a warning.
