Which file should I export?
Editable project
Your source for continued editing. Save keeps it in your signed-in account; Download keeps its JSON on your device. The browser draft is not an online backup. Saving does not change the server.
Installable package
The compiled interface for PimpMyCUI. Transfer and activation are separate steps: check their results. Without activation confirmation, do not consider the interface active. This file does not replace the editable project.

In the editor: Download → Export project or Export package. In In-game interfaces: Download → Editable project or Server installation · ZIP. The ZIP keeps linked configurations and includes installation instructions; merge cui/registry-additions.json without replacing the server’s other packages.

The PimpMyCUI server plugin is required to display the package in Rust. View plugin →

Install PimpMyCUI from its plugin page. Check the selected version before installing.

The four videos and their projects show the standalone workflow recorded in October 2026; their images and former labels are retained. For current Window/Page settings, format and ZIP export, follow the Server windows guide.
