Fields & TablesSchema Management

Exporting Schemas

Export your field configuration as a backup or to share

Exporting Schemas

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

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

Where to export

  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

The exported file includes:

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

It does not include:

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

Using exported schemas

  • 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

  • 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
