Using config files

An application's config contains the comprehensive set of categories, phrases, and filters. This config may be downloaded or uploaded to support application backups or offline editing, as an alternative to using the application editor to modify the application. The following figure shows the location of the upload and download controls.

Warning: Uploading a configuration will overwrite the entire existing set of categories, phrases, and filters.

Application config files are in JSON format, and each category must contain "phrases" and "subcategories" properties. The following example JSON shows an application config that may be used as a template.

Important: Uploading config files from Version 2 and older of V‑Spark is not supported in Version 3 and subsequent releases.
