How to export and import roasts

This article explains how to transfer roasts from one Cropster account to another.




Exporting roasts

We advise that you export reference roasts or high priority roasts as this process will be time consuming if you have numerous roasts to export.

If on Google Chrome, open Incognito window to login into one of the Cropster accounts and use the regular browser to login into the other. This will allow you to be logged into two different Cropster accounts simultaneously on the same browser.


By following the steps below you can export roasts:

  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar .
  2. Navigate to Roasts on the main menu bar. You will be directed to the Roasts overview page
  3. Open the roast you would like to export by clicking on the PR number.  You will be directed to the Roast detail page.
  4. Click on the green Export button on the top right side of the page.
