# [Exporting Schemas](#exporting-schemas)

Feedback

You can **export** your parser's **Fields & Tables** configuration (called a "schema") as a **JSON file**. This lets you:

Feedback

*   **Back up** your field setup
*   **Share** configurations between parsers
*   **Restore** a previous configuration
*   **Move** fields to a new parser

## [Where to export](#where-to-export)

Feedback

1.  Open your parser and go to **Settings -> Fields & Tables**.
2.  Click **Export Schema** (top right, next to "Improve this schema using AI").
3.  A **JSON file** downloads to your computer with your field configuration.

## [What gets exported](#what-gets-exported)

Feedback

The exported file includes:

Feedback

*   All **fields** (names, types, descriptions, AI extraction settings)
*   All **tables** and their **columns**
*   Field **order**
*   **AI Description** text for each field

Feedback

It does **not** include:

Feedback

*   Extracted data
*   Documents
*   Parser settings (email, split, etc.)
*   Integrations

## [Using exported schemas](#using-exported-schemas)

Feedback

*   **Backup**: Keep exported schemas as backups before making major changes
*   **Share**: Send the file to a teammate to use in their parser
*   **Import**: Use **Import Schema** to load it into another parser (or the same parser to restore)

## [Tips](#tips)

Feedback

*   **Export regularly**: Export your schema before making big changes so you can restore if needed
*   **Name files clearly**: Save exported schemas with clear names (e.g. "Invoice Parser - 2024-01-15.json")
*   **Version control**: Keep multiple exports if you experiment with different field setups

## [Next steps](#next-steps)
