Import and export

Export config serializes the database-backed runtime configuration into a sanitized document. It includes general settings, sources, targets, profiles, scheduling, mappings, notification preferences, and UI/retention settings.

It excludes Plex tokens, OAuth client secrets, access/refresh tokens, TMDB API credentials, Discord webhook URLs, users, password hashes, session secrets, and the Brokerr API key.

Import workflow

1. Export and inspect the document.
2. Open Import on the destination instance.
3. Review validation errors and warnings.
4. Import using the current configuration revision.
5. Re-enter source/target/notification credentials.
6. Reauthorize target accounts and verify connected identities.
7. Run a full dry-run before live synchronization.

Import is transactional. A stale revision returns a conflict, and a validation failure does not partially replace the active configuration.

Sanitized export is a configuration portability feature, not a database backup. It cannot restore run history, OAuth sessions, credentials, or audit records.
