Advocate IICan we export a Variable Library in Microsoft Fabric?
Is there a way to export a Variable Library in Microsoft Fabric?
I want to export it mainly for backup purposes and also for reusability across other projects.
Hi bhavya5903
Right now, Microsoft Fabric does not have a one-click “Export Variable Library” option in the UI.
For backup and reusability, you can use:
-
Git integration >> when you connect your workspace to Git, the Variable Library is saved as JSON files (variables.json, valueSets/*.json, etc.) that you can commit and reuse in other projects.
-
Fabric REST API >> use the Get Variable Library Definition API to export the JSON, and Update Variable Library Definition API to import it into another workspace.
-
Deployment pipelines >> if you just want to move the library between Dev/Test/Prod, promotion will carry it across stages.
So, while there isn’t a direct export button, Git + REST APIs give you a reliable way to back up and reuse Variable Libraries across projects.
