| You can manage and share station and workspace data across various workspaces and environments by exporting and importing the configuration of a single station, or of multiple stations at the same time. If performed by the workspace admin, the import includes applications and devices associated with the station.

Suggesting to add more information about which workspace roles can do what. Maybe a table?
- "View only", "Computer admin": can only export single and bulk
- "Station admin": can import and export single and bulk, but not create workspace apps on import, only link stations to existing workspace apps
- "Workspace owner", "Workspace admin": can do all, incl. creating apps on import

| To transfer multiple station configurations, along with their associated applications and devices, between workspaces, perform the following steps: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open the [Workspaces](https://workstation.home.mendix.com/) page as the workspace admin. |

| 6. On the **Stations** page, click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the screen, and then click **Import Stations**. | ||

| After the import finishes, your target workspace has the same apps and devices as the source workspace. |

Pls. also explain these options:
- Include Apps: if selected, the apps that are linked to the exported stations are created in the workspace if they do not yet exist with the same URL and public key (prerequisite: imported by Workspace Owner or Admin).
- Include Devices: if selected, the stations are imported with the exported device configurations
