Pipeline Import Export

This guide is for keeping backups and moving pipelines across devices.

Goal​

You are done when you can export a pipeline JSON and import it on another device.

When To Use This​

  • You want a backup before making risky edits.
  • You want to copy a pipeline from one device to another.
  • You want to share a pipeline with another team member.

Export (Download JSON)​

  1. Open OS > Pipelines.
  2. Select the pipeline.
  3. Use the export action in the graph editor actions.
  4. Your browser downloads a JSON file.

Practical tip:

  • Rename the file immediately to include what it is and when you exported it.

Example filename:

  • raze-aruco-36h11-2026-02-08.json

See: Import/export

Import (Create A New Pipeline From JSON)​

  1. Open OS > Pipelines.
  2. Click New Pipeline.
  3. Choose Import JSON.
  4. Select the JSON file you exported.
  5. Confirm the pipeline appears in the list.

Important behavior:

  • Import creates a new pipeline. It does not modify an existing pipeline.

Verify​

  1. Validate the graph (Warnings).
  2. Attach it to a stream.
  3. Confirm you can select expected outputs.

If Import Works But The Pipeline Does Not Run​

  1. Run validation and fix the first warning, then re-run validation.
  2. Attach it to a known-good stream and keep the layout 1x1.
  3. Confirm you selected the correct preview output.
  4. Check Alerts and Systems logs for runtime errors.
