Exporting your Celoxis project to MS Project is helpful if you need to work on your project plan when you are offline or if working in Microsoft Project is more convenient for you. In such a scenario, you can export your project to Microsoft Project, make changes and re-import it.

To export a project to Microsoft Project:

  1. Navigate to the project you wish to export.

  2. From menu on right, click on More followed by Export Microsoft Project.

  3. A .xml file is downloaded to your computer.

To import the XML file into Microsoft Project:

  1. Start the Microsoft Project.
  2. Click File, and then click Open.
  3. Select the XML file saved from Celoxis.
  4. Choose As a new project when prompted on how to open it.

  • When tasks are exported to Microsoft project, allocation in hours is converted into % (percent).
  • When exporting a project with baseline from Celoxis, it is imported as Baseline in MS Project.
