Import Project Ownership
-
Start the process by one of three methods:
- Double click the ERA Ownership File (*.eraowner) file in the File Explorer:
-
Drag the ERA Ownership File (*.eraowner) file from the File Explorer to the
ERA project desktop:
-
Use the Projects side panel:
- Click the dropdown arrow next to the Import button.
-
Select the “Import with Ownership” popup menu item.
- Choose the ERA Project Ownership file (*.eraowner) to import:
- Only if the project is already in the Project list, choose whether to keep the existing local version or import from the file and overwrite the local version:
- The project file is imported (except in the case “Keep My Version” was selected).
- The project navigation bar will update to show “Owner” along with a color change.
- While ownership is syncing to the ERA Live servers, you might observe that the status temporarily shows a new icon and label “Owner (Offline)”.
- The ownership change can be verified in the “Add from Cloud” dialog in ERA or on the ERA Live – Account Administration website.
- Since you are now the owner, your local project version will automatically be synced up to the server.
