Save time with Backlog’s new replicate feature
Starting a new project just got faster and easier in Backlog with our new Project Settings Export/Import feature. Whether you want to replicate your ideal workflow across departments or eliminate the hassle of setting everything up from scratch, this update is designed to help teams launch new projects with minimal setup.
Reuse your best project setups
Have you ever found yourself manually reconfiguring the same project settings over and over again? Now, you can export your project settings to a file and import them into another project in just a few clicks—no need to rebuild from zero. Here’s what’s included in the feature:
- General Settings: Text formatting (Markdown/Backlog), use of parent/child issues, Git, Wiki, and more
- Issue Types: Names, colors, and templates for issue types like “Task” or “Bug”
- Statuses: Custom and default issue statuses (e.g., “Open,” “In Progress”)
- Categories: Any categories defined in the project
- Milestones: Milestone names and versions

Click Add Project on your dashboard.

That’s why we’re excited to announce Backlog’s new batch import feature. Now, you can register up to 250 issues at once just by uploading a simple CSV file. No repetitive clicking or duplicate data entry. Just one upload, and you're done.

These updates, now available in Beta, help you better organize content, navigate longer documents, and bring your favorite tools right into the editor.
