This post is for NetSpot 2, for the newer, more advanced and majorly reworked NetSpot 3, please use this post as a guidance.<\/p>\n

With the release of NetSpot 2.1<\/a>, PRO users<\/a> can now share data between projects. This data can be either a zone<\/a> plus one or more snapshots<\/a>, or just AP aliases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s extremely convenient when you have an old survey you wish to redo, but don’t want to create all the zone configurations again. Or when your colleague configured everything for an effective survey and would like to share those configurations from his project. Or you can use this feature to just copy AP aliases that you hand-crafted from one project to another, without doing the manual job all over again.
