Importing and exporting BPMN

Choose Download BPMN from a process model’s ⋯ menu for a BPMN 2.0 file with its lanes and layout, or Open in bpmn.io to download it and open bpmn.io, then drop the file onto the page. File > Export > Every process as BPMN downloads every process at once.

Twiggy’s own details (applications, risks, controls, rules, ? marks) travel inside the file as extensions that other tools keep. BPMN is included in every paid plan; the free plan has 3 imports or exports to try.

To import, drop .bpmn files on the Dashboard (or File > Import a package, .pml or BPMN…). Each pool becomes a process, with its lanes, task types, decisions and parallel paths; message flows between pools become hand-offs. A short report lists anything simplified, such as a boundary timer (now a path from a decision after its step) or data objects (left out). Twiggy lays the model out its own way; files exported from Twiggy come back exactly as they were.
