Extension Properties - Export and Import

In SyncHive, users can extend the schema by adding custom properties. Custom properties can be created in any shape directly in the UI and are automatically labeled with the ext_ prefix. Users can also modify descriptions and example values of existing standard properties. All such customizations are saved and included in export / import files.

Key actions​

  • Export: Save your current extensions as a .seed file (SyncHive Extension Exchange Document). This is a special, encrypted JSON file that contains only the schema with your extensions, never the standard schema.

  • Import: Upload or drag-and-drop a .seed file to apply those extensions to another SyncHive workspace. Importing a file replaces all existing extensions with the contents of the uploaded .seed file.

Note: .seed files are specific to SyncHive and only work across SyncHive instances.

Schema versions numbering​

Standard schema version number is always shown in read-only mode (e.g. Standard v1.3.8).

Extension schema version shows the most recently saved extension version (e.g. Extensions v7). A new version is only created when you actually change the schema - re-uploading the same file won’t increase the version number.
