In the Zip section, there are options to Zip and Unzip SwiftJob files. You can export your project to a shareable file using the Zip SwiftJob function, accessible from the Tools toolbar. This can be used if you cannot access the Email a Job function.

This does not create a ZIP file, this creates a file with a *.swiftjob extension that can only be imported into PlanSwift.

A SwiftJob file recreates this project within PlanSwift, plans, takeoff, annotations, assemblies, etc.

Depending on how large your job is, you can send it via e-mail (less than 10MB file) or you can upload it to a cloud-share site such as OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
