You can easily download the current state of your project as an .ANM file and share it with whomever you want to open the project, to review or continue working on in the Animatron Editor. Since this file is a saved state of your project, whomever Uploads this file in the Editor will be creating a duplicate of your project which does not directly affect the originally downloaded project. (ANM files can only be opened and edited in the Animatron Editor).

From the Editor, click on the Main Menu and click on the Project tab. From here, you can click on “Download as .ANM File” to download the file directly to your computer’s default downloads folder.
