You can build up your own repository of identity platform configurations in a version control service such as [Git](https://git-scm.com/). This can include different versions of exported user journeys.

You can easily export user journeys and their dependencies via the Identity Cloud admin UI:

1.  Sign in to the Identity Cloud admin UI using your admin tenant URL, in the format `[https://<tenant-name>/am/XUI/?realm=/#/](https://\<tenant-name\>/am/XUI/?realm=/#/)`.
    
2.  Go to **Journeys**.
    
3.  Check the checkbox for one more journeys and click **Export**.

4.  Review the information on the Export Journeys page and click **Export**.
    

When you export a journey it looks for dependencies and gathers all that information into a JSON object. Dependencies might include node scripts, inner journeys and email templates.

The metadata exported with the journey includes where it was exported from, the date, and by whom. For example:

Once exported, you can pull the JSON object into your own version control service such as Git.

See [Journeys](https://backstage.forgerock.com/docs/idcloud/latest/realms/journeys.html) for further information on importing and exporting journeys.
