Import, export, and back up your library
SnippetCraft can export the complete library as a portable .snippets file and import that file later or on another Mac.
Export a library
Open the library controls
Use the SnippetCraft import and export controls available from the app workflow.
Choose export
Select a location you control and save the generated .snippets file.
Protect the file
The export can contain private reusable text. Store and share it with the same care as the original library.
Test important backups
For a critical library, verify that the file can be imported into a test environment or secondary Mac.
Import a library
Choose import
Select the exported .snippets file.
Review the result report
SnippetCraft uses duplicate-safe import. Existing items can be skipped, and the report explains how many were added or not imported.
Check representative items
Verify folders, triggers, variables, content, and documentation before deleting the source copy.

Export versus cloud sync
An export is a portable point-in-time copy. Cloud sync keeps an active library aligned across Macs. For valuable content, using both provides convenience and a separate recovery path.
Export before reorganizing a large library, replacing a Mac, or testing a new workflow across many snippets.
