## Project Metadata
The metadata is stored in meta directory in project level, database level, and API level.
Under ``Project Metadata``, you can perform the following operations.
- Export all metadata from the meta tables to meta directory
- Import all metadata from the meta directory to meta tables
- Export project meta to zip file and download
- Import project meta zip file and restart
- Clear all metadata from meta tables
< alert >
Import won't work with zip files exported from the older version of apps (< 0.11.6 ) . < br >
Import / Export will only transfer metadata and files related to the project and not any table data in the project.
