What Is a JSON Layout File?

A JSON file is a portable snapshot of your layout's configuration. Use it to back up a layout, share it with your team or with support, or restore it in a different account.

Best Practices

• Always import into a new, empty layout. Importing into an existing layout will overwrite it completely.
• Name imported layouts immediately. If left unnamed, the layout will be titled "Untitled Layout."
• JSON files are plain text: safe to store, email, or attach to a support ticket.
