MovieEngine import export settings data explained

Package Settings generates a complete snapshot of your plugin configuration, including design settings such as colors and layouts, API keys and service configurations, and payment gateway settings. To export, go to Transfer Center → Package Settings, click Generate Export File, and download the .json file, which contains all your plugin configuration settings.

Restore Snapshot imports and applies a previously exported configuration: go to Transfer Center → Restore Snapshot, upload your .json file by drag and drop or file selection, and click Execute Restoration, and your settings will be instantly applied. The supported format is .json, and the flow is Export Settings → Download JSON → Upload JSON → Restore Settings. Always create a full database backup before importing settings, store export files securely because they may contain API keys and payment credentials, and remember that this tool only transfers plugin configuration — it does not transfer content such as movies, episodes, or media files. Test an import on staging first, and use export before major changes or plugin updates.
