Import & Export

Super AdminOnly Super Admins can import or export data

Exporting Data

Go to Settings → Import & Export and check the boxes for what you want to include:

Missionaries & members — all missionary records and family members.
Organizations — all mission organization records.
Church Info — your church profile data.
Profile Photos — downloads and includes all uploaded photos.
Prayer Letters — includes all uploaded prayer letter PDFs.
Video Updates — includes locally uploaded video files.

A data-only export downloads as a JSON file. Any media selection produces a ZIP file containing the JSON plus all selected files.

Importing Data

Upload a JSON export file from a previous export, the ZIP from a full export, or a CSV file for bulk missionary import. The importer shows a preview of what will be added or updated before making any changes — review carefully before confirming.

When you upload an export ZIP, the photos, prayer letters and videos inside it are restored as well: after the records are written, the media files are uploaded back to their missionaries. This is the way to bring a church's content back from an export you kept, or to move it between accounts. Restored media counts toward your storage like any other upload.
