# Sharing

Export and import patterns or entire banks via the clipboard. Data is serialized into a compact text string you can paste anywhere -- a chat message, a text file, a note.

## Export

Press `g` to copy the current pattern to the clipboard as a share string. The string starts with `cgr:` followed by compressed data.

On the patterns page, `g` exports a pattern or a bank depending on which column the cursor is in. Bank strings start with `cgrb:`.

## Import

Press `G` to import from the clipboard. The share string is decoded and the result replaces the current pattern.

On the patterns page, importing into the banks column replaces an entire bank. Because this is destructive, a confirmation prompt appears first.

## Undo

Both pattern and bank imports are covered by undo. Press `u` to revert an import.
