Import a previously exported schema
Importing Schemas
You can import a previously exported schema (JSON file) to load field configurations into a parser. This is useful when you want to:
- Restore a backup
- Copy fields from one parser to another
- Share configurations with teammates
Where to import
- Open your parser and go to Settings → Fields & Tables.
- Click Import Schema (top right, next to "Export Schema").
- Choose the JSON file from your computer.
- The schema is loaded and your fields are updated.
What happens when you import
- Existing fields are replaced with the imported schema
- All fields and tables from the imported file are added
- You'll see a message asking if you want to re-process existing documents to match the new schema
Re-processing after import
After importing, you may want to re-process existing documents so they match the new field setup:
- If prompted, click Re-process documents (or go to each document and use More → Re-process document).
- This runs extraction again with the new schema.
Note: Re-processing uses credits (1 credit per page). Only re-process if you need existing documents to match the new schema.
Tips
- Backup first: Export your current schema before importing a new one, in case you want to restore it
- Test on a copy: If possible, test importing on a test parser first
- Check field names: Make sure imported field names match what you expect
- Re-process carefully: Only re-process documents if you need them to match the new schema
Troubleshooting
- "Invalid file": Make sure you're importing a schema file exported from DigiParser (JSON format)
- Fields missing: Check that the imported schema has all the fields you expect
- Wrong parser: Make sure you're importing into the correct parser
