Export a Content Type

You can export the JSON schema of any existing content type in your stack.

To export an existing content type, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the following steps:

1. Go to your stack and click the "Content Models" icon.
2. Click the vertical ellipsis in the Actions column next to the content type you want to export and select Export.

   

The JSON file downloads to your local system. Changes made to this file are retained when you import it back into Contentstack.

Note: Exporting a content type exports only the latest schema version. Version history and comparison data are not included.

Exporting a content type in Contentstack helps you back up schemas, share models across stacks, or reuse configurations in new projects.

To export a content type via API, refer to the Export a Content Type API Request.
