Exporting Your SBOM

Export Overview

SBOM Workbench provides export capabilities from both the Detected and Identified tabs, each serving different purposes in your software audit and compliance workflow.

Difference Between Exporting an SBOM File and Exporting a Project

These are two distinct operations and it is important to understand the difference: Exporting an SBOM file generates a standards-compliant bill of materials document (e.g. CycloneDX, SPDX Lite, or CSV) containing your component inventory, licence information and vulnerability data. This is the output you share with stakeholders, submit for compliance, or feed into downstream tools. It reflects only the component data, not your audit workspace. Exporting a project saves a complete snapshot of your entire audit workspace. This includes all scan results, identification decisions, notes, annotations, component statuses and the full audit history. Use this when you need to archive your work, share it with a colleague for continued review, or resume auditing on another machine. export-project
