Exporting and Importing a Model 

Use

You can save a model as a GML (Generic Modeling Language) file so that it can subsequently be imported into a different Visual Composer Storyboard (or saved in case the Storyboard in which it was created is uninstalled). Subsequently, you can import the exported model into the Storyboard in which you are working
