Importing/exporting channels

Awasu provides a powerful and flexible way of sharing information with other feed readers [1].

This is convenient if you use more than one feed reader and want to keep them synchronized, or if you are changing from one to another. It can be done by either communicating directly with the other feed reader or via OPML [2].

Info
Support for synchronizing with third-party feed readers is not installed as standard. Plugins can be downloaded from here and more will be made available as other feed readers make their services available.

When you click Import, the selected channels will be imported using the default settings for new channels.

[1] If you want to synchronize with another copy of Awasu, a more comprehensive way of doing this is described here.
[2] OPML is a file format widely used to transfer channels between feed readers. However, it only allows for the transfer of your channels, not which feed items you have read. SIAM is also supported but is less-widely used.
