# Importing & Exporting Case Data

> Move a case and its data between JurisDiscovery and JurisTrial

JurisDiscovery can package a case and its underlying data so it can be moved into JurisTrial for presentation, or pulled back from JurisTrial when you need to continue working on it. This guide covers both directions: transferring an entire case, and transferring just the case data.

<Note>
  For moving a case between firms or between devices, use **JurisPrep** cloud sync instead. The import/export workflows below are designed for local, application-to-application transfers; JurisPrep is the gateway for cross-device and cross-firm collaboration.
