Import and export .akr packs

Akron uses .akr files to back up and share setups. Export the whole Akron setup or a single scoped section.

Export a .akr pack

Open the Interface tab

Open the Akron overlay, go to Interface, and choose Export Setup.

Choose the scope

Select Whole for a full backup, or choose a scoped section: StartPos, Keybinds, AutoKill, AutoDeafen, Recorder, Audio, or Hud.

Export the pack

Confirm the export to write the .akr file to the Akron setup export directory.

Review before sharing

Check the file name, scope, and intended map or context before sharing the pack.

Back up current settings

Export your current setup before importing a shared pack.

Open the import flow

Open the Akron overlay, go to Interface, and choose Import Setup.

Choose the import scope

Select Whole for a full setup import. For scoped packs, choose the target section before selecting the .akr file.

Select and confirm

Choose the .akr file in the file browser and confirm that the scope matches the intended change.

Apply and test

Apply the import, then test the changed settings in a non-submission context.

Section	Import behavior
`Whole`	Replaces the full setup state, button bindings, menu action bindings, and StartPos slots.
`StartPos`	Merges StartPos settings and saved slots.
`Keybinds`	Merges Everest button bindings and Akron menu action bindings.
`AutoKill`	Merges Auto Kill trigger and area state.
`AutoDeafen`	Merges Auto Deafen trigger, hotkey, and area state.
`Recorder`	Merges recorder output, replay, trigger, audio, codec, and preset state.
`Audio`	Merges audio speed, pitch, volume, override, and device state.
`Hud`	Merges HUD widgets, labels, input displays, resource bars, counters, and HUD presentation state.

Scoped imports replace only the selected section and do not reset unrelated settings.

Importing a configuration does not make cheat behavior clean. Imported cheat options can mark an attempt as Cheat when used.
