Import your SAP Build project into SAP Web IDE
Once your prototype is complete, you can import it as a template into SAP Web IDE to convert it to SAPUI5 code.
Details
Please note that an imported SAP Build prototype can not be used for a production application for free accounts on SAP Build. The version of SAP Build used in these tutorials is for prototyping, designing, and trial purposes only. If your company has purchased SAP Build, you can use the following procedure to import your applications into your productive SAP Cloud Platform account.
Step 1: Enable SAP Build services
Open your SAP Cloud Platform account.
In your SAP Cloud Platform cockpit, go to the Services.
In the Search Bar, search for BUILD.
Click on the Build service tile under the User Experience section.
Enable the service.
