 * Hey Marc,
    It currently isn’t possible to easily export or import your settings.
   I think that’d be a great feature though, and have [made it a story for v0.7](https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/16320859).
   We need to rewrite the settings page first.
 * Also, we’re always open to patches if you’re interested in contributing code.
 * Cheers,
 * Daniel

 * Seems to be me the way to grab all the relevant info is to query terms with the
   taxonomy “post_status”.
 * The to restore them would be to delete any terms in the post_status taxonomy 
   then place the exported ones back in.
 * I’m going to need something like this so I’m interested in doing it, but just
   let me know what you think about my initial thoughts.
 * Thanks,
 * Marc

 * Yes, that’s correct. I think ideally we’d want the ability to export all of the
   settings at once, or some selection of them, generate a file with JSON, and then
   allow the user to upload the JSON file to restore their settings. I’d recommend
   first taking a look at other plugins that offer the same, and then drafting out
   a gameplan.
