Import and export a schema

Reuse, back up, or move an entry schema by exporting it as JSON or importing a compatible schema.

Import and export tools help you reuse entry schemas instead of rebuilding the same field structure by hand. This is useful when several tags should collect similar entries.

Exporting creates a JSON copy of a schema. Importing brings a compatible schema structure into a draft so you can review, adjust, save, and publish it.

Before you start

  • You need to be signed in as the owner of the tag.
  • To export, the tag needs an active schema or a saved schema draft.
  • To import, you need a compatible schema file or schema payload.
  • Importing is safest when the current draft is empty, because the imported structure becomes the draft you review next.

Export a schema

  1. 1 Open the tag from your dashboard or My Tags page.
  2. 2 Open the Entries area and go to the Schema page.
  3. 3 Choose Export Schema when an active schema or draft schema is available.
  4. 4 Save the downloaded JSON file somewhere safe if you want to back it up or reuse it later.

Import a schema

  1. 1 Open the tag that should receive the schema.
  2. 2 Open the Entries area and go to the Schema page.
  3. 3 Choose Import Schema and select the compatible schema source.
  4. 4 Review the imported fields, field types, required settings, overview visibility, and layout.
  5. 5 Adjust labels, keys, field settings, and layout if the imported schema does not perfectly match this tag.
  6. 6 Save the imported structure as a schema draft.
  7. 7 Publish the draft only when you are ready for new entries on this tag to use the imported schema.

Tips

  • Export a schema before making large changes if you want a backup of the previous structure.
  • Use exported schemas when several tags should use the same kind of entry form.
  • Always review imported schemas before publishing, especially required fields and fields shown in overview.
  • Check desktop, tablet, and phone layouts after import because another tag’s layout may not fit perfectly.

What happens next

  • An exported schema can be stored as a backup or reused for another compatible tag.
  • An imported schema becomes a draft first, so you can review and change it before publishing.
  • After publishing, new entries use the imported schema structure.
  • Existing entries remain connected to the schema version they were created with.

Review before publishing

Importing a schema can save time, but publishing it changes the structure used for future entries. Check fields, required settings, overview visibility, and layout before publishing.
