# Import and export configurations

> Learn how and when to import and export cell configurations to manage cells.

This section guides you through the process of importing and exporting configurations in the Wandelbots NOVA Setup.
This is useful for managing cells, sharing configurations, or backing up your setup.

1. Use Setup to **import and export cell configurations** via the `Cell settings`.
2. Select the cell resources you want to export, e.g., controller configurations, installed applications, or other persisted data.

> **Info:** VS Code settings, Python scripts, and modules are not included when exporting a cell.
