Settings Manager for Elementor provides granular control over Elementor settings export and import with more flexibility than native tools.
Why is granular important? It allows you to export or import only what you need, e.g., you may create several variants of breakpoints settings, which you can later reuse on the same site or some other site without overwriting other settings.

<li>Selective Export/Import – Export/import only the categories you need</li>
