# Share, import and push contexts to Spaces

Source: https://help.contextli.com/articles/share-and-import-contexts

To share one context, open its card menu and click **Share Context** to download a .contextli file or copy its JSON. To bring one in, click **Import** on the Contexts page. To share contexts with a team and keep them in step, add them to a **Space**.

## Share a context as a file

1. Click **Contexts** in the sidebar.
2. On the context's card, click the three-dot menu and choose **Share Context**.
3. Click **Download File** to save the .contextli file, or **Copy JSON** to copy it.
4. Send the file or text to the other person (email, Slack and so on).

The file includes the context name, its instructions, icon and colour, its hotkey and the screenshot capture setting.

## Import a context

1. Click **Contexts** in the sidebar.
2. Click **Import**.
3. Choose **From File** to pick a .contextli or .json file, or **From JSON** to paste copied JSON.
4. The context appears on your Contexts page, ready to use with its hotkey.

Contexts from the online Context Library (click **Browse Library**) are imported the same way: click **Add to Contextli** on the context's page, then use **Import** > **From JSON** in the app.

## Share contexts with your team in a Space

1. Click **Spaces** in the sidebar.
2. Type a name for the space and click **Create**.
3. Invite people by email and click **Send Invite**.
4. Click **Add Context** and pick one of your personal contexts.

Everyone in the space now sees it on their Contexts page under **Shared with Me**. Spaces can also share dictionary items with **Add Dictionary Item**.

## Push your edits to a Space

When you edit a context that is already in a Space, your teammates keep the old version until you push the change.

- On the context's card menu, click **Push to Spaces**, or
- On the **Spaces** page, click **Push update** next to the context.

The **Shared with Me** section has a switch for automatic pushing. When it is on, your edits are pushed to every space automatically.

## Good to know

- **Default Transcription** cannot be shared.
- Shared contexts you don't need can be hidden from **Shared with Me** and restored later.
