It is possible to copy component and service configuration from other apps and templates to replace existing configuration in your own app. You can Get Configuration from a single or multiple components.

If you want to import a component (and all components within it) into your app as a new component, see Import a Component.

Get Configuration for a Single Component or Service

When you want to copy a single component or service, you first open the component or service you want to change. You then import the configuration for that component or service from either a template or an existing app and overwrite the open component or service.

You access the Get Configuration option from the three-dot menu at the top-right of a particular component or service's panel.

Get Configuration for a single component is in the options menu of a particular component's panel

Get Configuration for Multiple Components or Services

When you want to copy the configuration of multiple components or services, you must ensure you are at the highest level of the Components or Services panel.

To ensure that you are at the highest level, click the back arrow in any component or service panels that are open.

You then select multiple components or services, and overwrite the components or services of the currently open app with the imported configuration.

You access the Get Configuration option from the three-dot menu at the top-right of the root Components or Services panel.
