Hi everyone,

I’m currently on the Essential seat plan with monthly billing, which I purchased after the release of WeWeb 3.0. I would like to download my project files for self-hosting.

According to the WeWeb pricing page, project downloads should be possible, but I don’t see the option available in my project settings.

Am I missing something? Is this feature limited to certain plans, or are there specific conditions required to enable it?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

So, I got a solution 🙂

It is necessary to Generate code export first. This option is accessible from the editor.  
After you generate the project, the Source project files and Built project files get available in the project deployments.
