Import and Export Forms

Lime Forms lets you export a form's full configuration as a JSON file and import it again. This is useful for:

  • Copying forms between environments (e.g. from staging to production)
  • Creating a backup of a form configuration
  • Using an existing form as the starting point for a new one

Exporting a form

  1. Open the form in the editor.
  2. Go to the form settings or the form's action menu.
  3. Select Export form.
  4. A JSON file is downloaded to your computer. The file includes all steps, fields, actions, and settings for that form.

Importing a form

  1. In the forms list, select Import form.
  2. Upload the JSON file exported from another form or environment.
  3. The form is created as a new form. Review its settings before publishing.
What is included in the export

The export includes all steps, fields, conditional logic rules, and actions. It does not include submission data.

Integration configuration

Some settings — such as API keys for integrations — are environment-specific and are not transferred by the export. You will need to re-enter these after importing.
