Import and export configurations
Last updated: August 19, 2026
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.
via Setup
Use Setup to import and export cell configurations via the Configurations tab in the cell setup.
You’ll be able to select the cell resources you want to export, such as the controller configurations, the installed applications, or other persisted data.
via API
Export cell configuration
You can also import and export cell configurations via the API. For more information, refer to the API documentation.
To export a cell configuration, use System > Retrieve Configuration Backup GET /api/v2/system/configuration.
This API endpoint needs to be provided with a list of resources to export.
This list can be retrieved via System > List Configuration Resources GET /api/v2/system/configuration/resources.
Import cell configuration
To update an existing cell, use System > Restore Configuration Backup POST /api/v2/system/configuration. This restores a previously backed up configuration.
Transfer controller configuration to virtual robot
If you want to add safety zones from a physical robot controller to its virtual counterpart for example, you’ll need to delete the “type” field from the configuration.
