Once you have downloaded a backup, you can import it when creating a new form in the app. This is helpful if you want to copy forms between two different stores that have Customer Fields installed.

Follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Forms page in the app and click on the 'Add form' button

  2. In the 'Select your template section', click the button for 'Import from a backup'

  3. Find the .json form backup on your computer

  4. Once uploaded, the app will create a form using all of the data from the from backup. It will also create any necessary data columns that are being used by the fields in the form you're importing.

✍️ Notes:

  • The revision history will not be transferred when importing a form. This is because when you download a form backup, you are downloading the most recently version of the form.

  • Please keep in mind that each store using Customer Fields can be on different plans. Make sure that the store you're importing into is on the correct plan before importing a form 👍
