Export screen

Download your configuration to a .json file that you will use to the feed the Processing module with.

warning

You can still download an "invalid" configuration to save an ongoing configuration.

Beware that this will likely result in errors if you decide to feed it to the Processing module.

tip

.json files are just fancy text files.

Meaning you can open your configurations in your favorite text editor to quickly change settings and values.

While this is obviously risky, validation checks will be performed at any app module boundary.
