Use a local export before a large layout change. Use revision history when a server-backed profile already contains the earlier state you need.

Export a backup
- Open Settings → Dashboard.
- Find Local config backup.
- Choose Export config.
- Store the downloaded file somewhere you control.
The export contains dashboard configuration. It is not a backup of your smart-home provider.
Import a backup
- Return to Local config backup.
- Choose Import config.
- Select a Navet
.yamlor.ymlconfiguration export. - A valid file is applied immediately after selection. Wait for the success message and dashboard refresh; there is no separate review confirmation.
Import can replace current local configuration. Export the current state first if you may want it back.
The startup wizard also offers Import a config file. It restores configuration directly instead of continuing through the language and appearance steps. Standalone Navet refreshes afterward; the Home Assistant custom panel reveals the imported dashboard in place.
Restore a revision
On installations with server-backed profile history:
- Open Settings → System → Connected devices.
- Choose Revision history.
- Find the revision by time and device name.
- Choose Restore.
- Review the revision number and confirm.
Restoring creates a new current revision based on the earlier snapshot; it does not silently erase the audit trail.
If restore reports a newer revision
Reload revision history before trying again. Another device changed the profile after you opened the list.
