Hi, Is it possible in the new UI to download the .aia source file? Or is it planned and there is an eta?

Hey @marirondine,

The cross-platform version of Thunkable has replaced .aia files with [share links](https://docs.thunkable.com/share-1) since it was launched in 2017.

They’re significantly faster to use and much easier to manage.

In the new UI all you need to do is:

1. Click the **Share** icon in the top bar
2. Click the **Generate Link** button in the next pop-up

 ![share_project](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/0/8095523f245c7899c67e27a0d20557a7863d9d70.png)

Hope that helps!

@domhnallohanlon,

The share link option is not available (chrome on Windows 10 screenshot below)

Thanks @domhnallohanlon, but I confirm what @drted has just posted, I can’t see the share icon on Chrome/windows 10. May be it’s an option only of the Pro version?

Nope. I’m PRO and it is not there. ☹

Sorry about that - we’ll fix it in the next release.

@eko.devs.apploroceo - that is not the way to generate copy links. The links with /project/ in them are project links.

That being said @marirondine, while we’re working on the fix, you can also share a link to your project detail page.

![Screenshot 2021-01-06 at 16.38.03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/d/9d4ce5f46360b8fdad42e9d96fa8d46e8c5513ee.png)

Visitors to this page will see a remix option to create a copy of the project for themselves.

Hope that helps.

Thanks it can be useful. Just a question, when share links are available, will more people be able to cooperate working on the same project at the same time?
