Conversation Export and Import
Move conversations and their attachments between Msty Studio workspaces
Export conversations when you want a portable copy, need to move work to another workspace, or want to preserve a Media Studio session.
Export a Conversation
Open the conversation menu
Open the conversation and select the ellipsis menu in the top-right corner.
Select Export Conversation
Choose Export Conversation, then select As JSON or As ZIP.
Save the file
Choose where to save the exported conversation.
Export Formats
JSON
JSON creates one .json file containing the conversation structure and embedded attachment data.
- Documents, images, webpages, YouTube attachments, and referenced media are included when their files are available
- Embedded files are encoded inside the JSON, which can make the file substantially larger
- When embedded attachments total 10 MB or more, Msty recommends using the ZIP format
JSON is useful for smaller conversations or when you need a single text-based export.
ZIP / .mstyconv
The ZIP option creates a .mstyconv file containing:
- Conversation metadata
- Conversation and split data
- An attachments folder with referenced files
Use .mstyconv for media-heavy conversations, large attachments, or the most portable import experience.
Import a Conversation
Choose the destination project
In the Projects panel, open the ellipsis menu for the project that should contain the imported conversation.
Select Import Conversation
Choose Import Conversation.
Select the export
Upload a supported .json or .mstyconv file.
Open the imported conversation
After a successful import, Msty adds the conversation to the project and opens it.
Attachments and Media Studio
- Current JSON exports embed referenced attachment files and restore them during import
.mstyconvimports restore files from the included attachments folder- Existing workspace files are not duplicated when an attachment with the same stored file name is already available
- Media Studio exports preserve saved session state and referenced media when the attachment files are included
If an older JSON export does not contain embedded attachment data, Msty can only reconnect attachments that already exist in the destination workspace.
