JSON File Documentation for Import and Export

NOTE: This documentation is not final and is a quick draft. This warning will be removed once finalized. Please follow the instructions carefully when using the JSON file.

Important Notes

• Always start by exporting data from the Mensinator app.
• NEVER modify the app_settings values. Changing these may break the app's functionality.
• We do not support importing data from other apps. Use this feature at your own risk.
• Only edit the periods and ovulations sections.
• Always keep a backup by performing an export before making any edits to the file.
