# Import/Export

**Backup and Restore Your Settings**

This feature allows you to safeguard your current settings by either copying or downloading them. It's essential to keep these backups secured as they can be invaluable for:

* Restoring your settings in case of any mishap.
* Transferring your preferences to this extension or another.

Maintain a backup to ensure a seamless experience across your extensions.

#### Export settings

Open the configuration of the extension, go to the “import/export” section and press the “download data file” button. Store the JSON in a recognisable location for later use.

#### Import settings

In a different dashboard, open the configuration of the extension and navigate to the same menu. Paste the contents of the JSON file into the text box and press “Import” (Be aware that this will override any existing configuration). Press “Save” in the top-right corner and close the configuration to see the change take immediate effect.
