# Imports & Exports

Admin Studio includes a migration workspace for item definitions.

## Import sources

The client-side converter supports safe parsing/conversion flows for common formats including:

- Nord JSON.
- `ox_inventory`-style Lua item definitions.
- `qb-inventory` / QBCore-style Lua item definitions.

Lua import is parsed as item data; the migration workflow is designed to avoid blindly executing imported Lua.

## Conflict handling

The import flow analyzes items before creating them and supports conflict behavior such as skipping or overwriting existing runtime/custom definitions.

Base-item protection and DB precedence remain in effect.

## Export scopes

Exports can be generated for:

- runtime custom items only;
- the full active registry.

## Export formats

The Admin tool can generate Nord registry output as JSON or Lua-compatible registry text for migration/backup workflows.

## Size guard

The browser-side Admin import flow rejects an input file larger than 5 MB.

> This Admin Studio registry export is an item-definition migration feature. It is separate from database/server backups.
