Import/Export module configurations
- You can use this feature to import or export your module configuration settings if you need to change or activate/deactivate your module on another instance. It is useful in the following Scenarios:
- Changing Environments: The Import/Export Configurations feature is particularly useful when transitioning between different environments, such as from development to staging or staging to production. In such cases, kindly export the configuration prior to transferring the changes and import the configurations back afterwards.
- Database Cloning: By exporting configurations from the staging site before cloning the database, users can ensure that the cloned site retains the desired configuration settings.
- Site Replication: The feature enables easy replication of site configurations across multiple instances, reducing the effort required for manual configuration setup.
- Module Reinstallation: This feature can be useful when reinstalling modules. Export configurations before uninstalling a module, and import them back after reinstalling to preserve previous settings and configurations.
Steps to export configuration:
- Go to the Advance Settings tab > Import/Export Configurations > EXPORT CONFIGURATION.

Steps to import configuration:
