Importing a GoshLinks Backup

GoshLinks Pro can import data from a GoshLinks JSON export / backup file.

Step 1: Open the Import Tab

  1. Go to GoshLinks > Settings > Import.
  2. Open the GoshLinks Import accordion.


Step 2: Upload the Export File

  1. Click the file selector.
  2. Choose a GoshLinks .json export file.
  3. Click Upload and Review Import.

GoshLinks uploads the file and shows a review screen before importing.


Step 3: Review the Import Summary

The review area shows what the file contains, such as settings, links, click data, and Help Notes.

Review the counts carefully before starting the import.

Step 4: Choose Import Sections

Select the sections you want to import. You can import only some parts of the file if needed.

Step 5: Choose Link Import Mode

If the file contains links, choose how imported links should interact with existing links.

  • Delete all existing links and their click data before importing
  • Keep existing links, only import new, unique links
  • Import all links and overwrite existing links that use the same slug

Step 6: Start Import

Click Start Import. Large imports may run in several batches. A progress bar shows the current status.

Step 7: Review the Result

After import, GoshLinks shows a summary of what was imported, updated, or skipped.

Check All Links, Stats, and Settings to confirm the imported data looks correct.
