Export­ing a Bril­li­um assess­ment allows you to back up your con­tent, share it exter­nal­ly, or pre­pare it for edit­ing and re-import. This guide walks through the process using Brillium’s Assess­ment Builder.

Step-by-Step Instruc­tions

Access the Assess­ment Builder

  1. Log into your Bril­li­um account.
  2. Nav­i­gate to Assess­ments from the main menu.
  3. Select the assess­ment you wish to export.

Open Export Options

  1. Click the Tools icon (upper right corner).
  2. Choose Export from the drop­down menu.

Con­fig­ure Export Settings

  1. Export For­mat: Select Bril­li­um JSON Ver­sion 1.0 as the Export For­mat option
    • JSON is the rec­om­mend­ed because it is a text for­mat that is flex­i­ble and devel­op­er friendly.
  2. Export File Name: Enter a name for the export file.
  3. Export Pass­word: Enter a pass­word to encrypt the file (required for down­load and open­ing). Be sure to note the pass­word as it will be need­ed to open the down­loaded export file.

Com­plete the Export

  1. Click the Export button.
  2. Then click Down­load Export to save the file to your local system.

Impor­tant Notes:

When Import­ing — Set the Assess­ment Key

Export­ed assess­ment files do not include the Assess­ment Key (for secu­ri­ty rea­sons). When a Bril­li­um Assess­ment is import­ed, the fol­low­ing steps must be com­plet­ed before the assess­ment can be enabled:

  1. Select Assess­ments from the main menu
  2. Select the import­ed assess­ment from the Assess­ment list
  3. Select the Prop­er­ties tab.
  4. Next to the Assess­ment Key option, select the Change But­ton
  5. Enter an Assess­ment Key (this can be any com­bi­na­tion of let­ters and num­bers desired)
  6. Select the Save but­ton to save your changes.

ZIP File Troubleshooting

The export process cre­ates a down­load file in an AES encrypt­ed ZIP for­mat. Cer­tain ver­sions of Microsoft Win­dows may not sup­port the direct extrac­tion of encrypt­ed files using the Win­dows Explor­er interface. This means you might encounter prob­lems when try­ing to drag or open the file direct­ly from the Zip file using Win­dows Explor­ers’ built-in Zip functionality.

To resolve this, you have a cou­ple of options:

  1. Instead of dou­ble-click­ing the down­loaded file to open it, try right-click­ing it and choose the ​“extract” or ​“unzip” option.
  2. Alter­na­tive­ly, you can con­sid­er using a dif­fer­ent Zip pro­gram like 7Zip or WinZip, which are capa­ble of prop­er­ly extract­ing the files from encrypt­ed Zip archives.
  3. Make sure you have applied the lat­est Win­dows oper­at­ing sys­tem updates, as this might be some­thing Microsoft has improved in a recent release.
