## 18.2. Saving Workbench Project Archives in EKM

If a Workbench project was uploaded to an EKM repository as a separate .wbpj file and its associated _files folder (this may happen for projects uploaded using the EKM web client or those migrated from previous versions of EKM), then you can use the Save As Workbench Archive action to save the project as an archive file from within EKM. When you select this action for a .wbpj file, EKM searches the current folder for the associated _files folder that goes along with the project, and if found, it creates an archive file with the same name as the Workbench project file (.wbpj) in the current folder. In order for the Save As Workbench Archive action to become selectable, you need `create` permission and `modify` permission on the current folder. You also need `delete` permission on the Workbench project if you want EKM to remove the project after the archive file is created, and `modify` permission on an existing archive file if you want EKM to overwrite it.

When you save a Workbench project as an archive file, metadata will be automatically extracted from the file. You can monitor extraction status by selecting the Data/Extraction Monitor folder. See Monitoring Data Extraction for details.

To save a Workbench project as an archive file, select the .wbpj file (or files), right-click, and select Edit > Save As Workbench Archive from the context menu. If the projects already exist, you can choose to overwrite the archive files that will be created.
