To export your Curator metadata:

2. Navigate to Settings > Curator > Import/Export section using the left-hand menu.
3. Check the necessary items you need to backup (or click 'Select All' at the top)
4. Click "Export" and this will download a JSON file you can keep as a backup or use to import your settings to another Curator instance.
