Export and Import

The Export / Import page lets you download your organization's questions, templates, and interview records as JSON files, and restore them from those files. Use it to back up data before a migration, move data between organizations, or seed a new workspace with a ready-made question library.

Prerequisites#

Navigating to the page#

Select your user avatar in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar and choose Export / Import from the menu.

Exporting data#

Export Questions#

Select Export Questions in the Export card. The file saved to your device is named questions.json and contains all questions in the library together with their categories, tags, and any interview templates defined for the organization.

When the download finishes, the page shows Questions exported successfully.

Export Interviews#

Select Export Interviews in the Export card. The file saved to your device is named interviews.json and contains all interview records, including the candidate name, status, dates, and all rated answers.

When the download finishes, the page shows Interviews exported successfully.

Importing data#

Import Questions#

1. In the Import card, choose a duplicate-handling strategy from the Duplicate handling for questions dropdown. The two options are Skip duplicates (default) and Overwrite duplicates.
   • Skip duplicates — questions already present in the library (matched by title) are left unchanged; only new questions are added.
   • Overwrite duplicates — questions matched by title are updated with the content from the file.
2. Select Import Questions and choose a previously exported questions.json file.
3. The page shows a confirmation message such as Imported 5 questions when the import finishes.

Import Interviews#

Select Import Interviews in the Import card and choose a previously exported interviews.json file. The duplicate-handling dropdown does not apply to interviews — all records in the file are inserted.

The page shows a confirmation such as Imported 3 interviews when the import finishes.

Loading pre-built question sets#

The Sample Interview Data card lets you load a ready-made question set without preparing an export file. Select a set from the dropdown and select Load. Available sets include:

• Frontend Developer (10 questions)
• Backend Developer (10 questions)
• Project Lead (10 questions)
• Scrum Master (10 questions)
• Senior React Interview (51 questions)
• JavaScript Interview (45 questions)
• Senior Angular Interview (54 questions)
• Python Interview (45 questions)
• Product Manager (40 questions)
• Sales Account Executive (35 questions)
• Customer Success Manager (30 questions)

Loading a sample set never overwrites existing questions — handleSeedData always passes the Skip duplicates mode, so questions in your library that match a sample by title are left untouched.

Troubleshooting#

Export failed — The export could not complete. Check your network connection and try again.

Import failed — The file could not be read or the content is not a valid export file. Verify you are selecting a file that was previously exported from Intervy and try again.

Seed failed — The sample question set could not be loaded. Check your network connection and try again.
