Import and export

Two different things share this name, so here is each one.

Import a block from JSON

If someone sends you a block as JSON (copied from Etch), you can add it to your library.

1. Click the Import buttonIt is the download arrow in the panel header.
2. Paste the JSONFill in a name, a type and a category, then paste the component JSON into the box. Tags, a brand, a description and a demo URL are optional.
3. Click ImportThe new item appears in the panel.

If the JSON is not valid, the dialog tells you which field to fix.

Export and import your setup

To move your folders, pins and saved items to another site, use Etchedy → Tools.

• Export downloads one JSON file. Untick Include component data for a smaller file with references only.
• Import takes that file (up to 10 MB). Choose Merge with existing to add to what is already there, or Replace existing to overwrite your folders and pins. Items that already exist are skipped.
