# Export Designer Configuration

## Overview

Welkin Designer allows you to export your current configuration as a file. This export is useful for backup purposes, auditing changes, or comparing configurations across environments.

## Exporting Your Configuration

1. Log in to the **Welkin Designer**
2. In the top navigation or settings menu, click **Export Configuration**
3. The configuration will be packaged and downloaded as a file (typically JSON or ZIP format)
4. Save the file to a secure location

The export captures your current published configuration including:

* CDT definitions
* Assessment templates
* Automation rules
* Program and phase structures
* Navigation layouts
* Security policies
* Communication templates

## Using the Export

The exported configuration can be used to:

* **Audit changes** – compare exports from different dates to understand what changed
* **Backup** – retain a snapshot of your configuration before making major changes
* **Documentation** – review the full configuration in a structured format

## Importing Configuration

Welkin does not currently support importing a configuration file directly through the Designer UI. Configuration changes must be made through the Designer interface. Contact Welkin support for guidance on environment migrations or configuration transfers.

## Version History

For tracking changes within Designer, see [Change Summary and Version History](/designer/version-and-configuration/change-summary-and-version-history.md).
