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
- Open your parser and go to Settings → Fields & Tables.
- Click Export Schema (top right, next to "Improve this schema using AI").
- 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
