I would like to export all App Search configuration related to web crawler, relevance tuning, curation, etc ... to a file (XML or JSON), so others users can collaborate, check the file, modify it and test it in their own App Search instance.

How can it be done ?

If this cannot be done, is there a way to enable multiple users to edit the App Search configuration ?

Hi @_leo 👋

We don't have an easy way to export the configuration for an engine. It is a good idea and something we potentially could look into.

As a workaround, you should be able to access all data related the engine and the crawler domains with the API. For instance, we have [this API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/search-settings.html) to access relevance tuning.

> is there a way to enable multiple users to edit the App Search configuration

Are you using App Search with xpack security disabled? If not, you should be able to create multiple users and you also have the option to create API keys to interact with the API.
