The Import/Export menu options in the Validator Engine Options allow you to easily import and export validator engine options to and from files. By default, these files use the veo extension (*.veo). Only validation options affecting validation results are exported. This includes most or all options in the following tabs: Validator 1, Validator 2, Styles, Accessibility, Tidy, and Flags. It does not include most or all options in the following tabs: General, Classic, Logging, Tools, and Network.

Use the import/export functions to have multiple sets of validator engine options when working with multiple documents or projects that have different validation requirements. You can also use these functions to back-up the options or to share the same validator engine options with others.

To export the validator engine options to a file, choose Import/Export->Export to file and then choose a filename to export the options to.

To import the validator engine options from a file, choose Import/Export->Import from file and then choose the filename to import the options from.

If Export Options->Include Default Configuration File is checked, then the default configuration file option (in the General Tab) will be exported. Use this to tie the validator engine options to a specific configuration file if you are using more than one configuration file (this is uncommon). By checking Export Options->Auto Load Config File as well, the new configuration file will be loaded without prompting the user when the options are imported and the OK button is pressed to close the Validator Engine Options.

If Export Options->Include Message ID Config is checked, then the current message ID configuration will also be exported. The message ID configuration controls if (or how) some validator messages are displayed based on user defined preferences.
