### Upload the workspace to TDEI

1. Review the **Upload to TDEI** option
2. **Select** **Start**
3. Follow the prompts to export the workspace as a new TDEI dataset

Uploading to TDEI requires a **POC** or **osw_data_generator** role in at least one TDEI project group. If you do not have either role, Workspaces displays a permission message and provides **Go back** instead of the export form.

### Download workspace data

1. Review the **Download** option
2. **Select** **Start Preparing File for Download**
3. Wait while Workspaces prepares the file
4. When the button changes to **Start**, **select** it again to download the prepared file to your device

!!! note "Preparation time"

    Preparing the file may take a minute. Keep the export page open while the file is being prepared.
