Plan and export limits
- Project export is available on currently documented Personal, Starter, Advanced and Enterprise-family plans.
- Subtasks and comments are excluded from the shared lane by default.

Steps
- Open the project — Project title ▾. Open the project you want to share.
- Export — Export/Print → CSV or JSON. Either format works; JSON keeps more structure.
- Upload — AlignLane → Board → Import. Asana format is detected automatically.
- Map and choose shared fields — Mapping preview. Sections map to statuses or milestones — your choice.
- Publish — Share. Review the import report, then copy the share link.
