## Your devices and other people

Optional [iCloud sync](/guide/use/icloud-sync) keeps supported personal work on your own Apple devices. It does not share a project with someone else. The file choices below create reviewed recipient copies and keep private content selection separate.

## Selected reusable setup

In **Library**, select a configuration or experiment and choose Export. Review the selected contents, then Save file on iPhone or Export file on Mac. An experiment includes its selected ingredients. A single task, method, robot configuration or scene can also be shared. The file excludes notes, recordings, local connections, calibration, permissions and attempt history.

Choose Import and review the exact contents before importing. The recipient receives independent local identities and original source lineage. Missing ingredients can be selected later. Imported observations are reports about the source setup, not measurements of the recipient's environment. Unknown robots remain inspectable even when Roboty cannot simulate them.

Select an experiment to inspect Reuse and outcomes. Return an observation or correction prepares a selected file for review and saving. Reported success, failure and withdrawal remain attributed claims until independently validated. Copies do not become independent evidence. Sharing the file with someone is a separate action.

## Selected project files

Open a project and choose Share. Select the saved experiments to include. Include recorded results is optional and starts off. Choose the exact completed or stopped results to include where offered. Personal notes are excluded. Choose Review contents to inspect the selection, then Export to save it locally. On Mac, Back returns to the selection in the same sheet. Changing the selection requires a new review. Cancel in the system save panel returns to the review with your selection retained. Unfinished operations are not shared as completed results.

When working on a selected Mac, Show more experiments loads later entries without closing the sheet. New entries start unselected. You can also share results through their existing experiment or finding controls.

A project template excludes recorded results and provides reusable starts. A project file preserves selected relationships and source lineage. Import project file opens a review before creating independent local work or adding selected contents to an active project. Original source evidence stays reported. Import and template use never start a run. Adding another source keeps the earlier original sources available for inspection.

Saving to Templates keeps a reusable start in the named local library. It does not publish it. Review the original source, selected version and editable inputs before Use.

A local file is not a publication. Send it separately to your intended recipient. Sharing does not grant Roboty research or training permission.

On Mac, **Import file…** accepts supported project, reusable setup and experiment files through their existing reviews. A file with several selected items first shows what it contains. Choose a supported item to open its own review. Some items are listed but cannot be copied here, and items with selected dependencies may need Workbench to copy the complete set. Close the review to keep the original file and current work unchanged. Import creates a local copy with its source reference. It does not restore an entire library or move a running attempt.

Share from the experiment or finding you want someone to see. You do not need to describe your setup again in the contact form.

## iPhone

1. Open a retained result or investigation and choose Share finding or task template.
2. Choose a finding, task template, or both. Add an interpretation only if you want it included.
3. Choose Prepare privacy review and read every attachment.
4. Confirm that you reviewed the contents and have permission to save them locally. Choose Save reviewed package and a destination in Files.
5. Share that saved file with your intended recipient using your preferred file-sharing method.

Preparing and saving the package does not send it to Roboty or publish it. This route uses the connected Mac. If it is unavailable, reconnect before preparing the package. A recipient reviews the imported package before creating their own local revision. Import never starts a run.

## Mac

To share a project, open it and choose Share. Select the experiments to include. Show more experiments lets you select later entries without closing the sheet. Additional entries start unselected. Include recorded results is optional and starts off. Review contents shows the selected file before Export saves it locally. Changing the selection requires a new review.

Use More, then Save project as template to keep reusable starts without recorded results. Template previews open in the main window. Back returns without creating work. More details contains the source, version and exact inputs.

Open the finding or retained result and use its Share finding with a reproducible template or Share and reuse controls. Prepare the selected finding, template, or both. Inspect the complete privacy review and approve the exact package before saving it. Send the saved file separately to your intended recipient.

When exporting recorded simulation results, select attempts from one engine version. Export results from different engine versions separately so each file keeps its original conditions.

A saved package is a local export. It does not publish the finding or enroll it in research. For a written explanation of selected results, you can also [prepare a private experiment brief](/guide/use/private-briefs).

## Browser

In Explore, open Share and choose the scope you need:

- A page link shares the investigation you are reading.
- A setup link shares supported inputs so someone can make their own local experiment.
- Selected file export provides a portable file without uploading it. Review the selection before exporting.
- A selected-result snapshot, when the publishing service is available, requires review before publication. It is unlisted, not private: anyone with its link can read and forward it.

Hosted result snapshots are currently unavailable. Page links, supported setup links and local file export remain separate options. See [browser saving, sharing and recovery](/guide/use/browser-experiments) for the complete workflow.

The project and experiment Import file controls can review a selected file with several items. Open a supported item in its project or experiment review. An unsupported item remains in the file and is not imported by the browser.

## Contributing to Roboty is a separate choice

Sharing with another person does not give Roboty permission to collect your experiments or use them for training. Onboarding and interface preferences do not grant that permission either.

Optional browser research contribution is off by default and currently inactive. When available, it covers future eligible structured synthetic evidence in that browser, with separate choices for training and longer dataset retention. It does not upload your old library or enroll another device. See [privacy and data choices](/guide/reference/privacy).

## Before you share

Read the exact preview and leave out credentials, identifying information, private recordings and material you do not have permission to disclose. A recipient’s successful import does not verify the original result or establish physical robot capability.

For an ordinary question, collaboration inquiry, product feedback or article correction, use the website’s Contact page. Sending a message does not publish it or grant research or training permission.
