+# Project import/export
+
+>**Note:**
+ - This feature was [introduced][ce-3050] in GitLab 8.9
+ - Importing will not be possible if the import instance version is lower
+ than that of the exporter.
+
+The GitLab Import/Export version can be checked by using:
+
+```bash
+# 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 get exported can be listed by using:
+
+```bash
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:import_export:data
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:import_export:data RAILS_ENV=production
+```
