Import & Export
Move data in and out of Neural Garden — JSON, Markdown, OPML, and CSV.
Exporting your garden
Open the import/export controls from the garden menu. You can export your entire garden as JSON (for backup or sharing), Markdown (for reading), OPML (for outline tools), or CSV (for spreadsheets). JSON exports include full type definitions so types are preserved when re-importing.
Importing data
Import a previously exported JSON file to restore a garden or merge it with your current one. During import, Neural Garden shows a preview of what will be added.
Type reconciliation on import
When importing a garden that uses custom types, Neural Garden automatically matches types by slug and name against your existing type registry. Types that match link up automatically. Unmatched types appear in the import preview with Create and Skip options — Create adds the type to your registry, Skip strips it from imported nodes.
Backup and recovery
Since Neural Garden is local-first, your data lives in your browser. Regular JSON exports serve as backups. If you switch browsers or clear data, import your backup to restore everything.
