# Project import/export administration **(CORE ONLY)**
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/3050) in GitLab 8.9.
> - From GitLab 11.3, import/export can use object storage automatically.
See also:
- [Project import/export documentation](../../user/project/settings/import_export.md).
- [Project import/export API](../../api/project_import_export.md).
The GitLab import/export version can be checked by using the following command:
```shell
# Omnibus installations
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:import_export:version
# Installations from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:import_export:version RAILS_ENV=production
```
The current list of DB tables that will be exported can be listed by using the following command:
```shell
# Omnibus installations
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:import_export:data
# Installations from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:import_export:data RAILS_ENV=production
```
## Important notes
Note the following:
- Importing is not possible if the version of the import instance is older than that of the exporter.
- The project import option must be enabled in
application settings (`/admin/application_settings`) under **Import sources**, which is available
under **{admin}** **Admin Area >** **{settings}** **Settings > Visibility and access controls**.
- The exports are stored in a temporary [shared directory](../../development/shared_files.md)
and are deleted every 24 hours by a specific worker.
