Open your ''Overview Settings'' window and go to the ''Misc'' tab. At the bottom of the tab you'll see two button, ''Import Overview Settings'' and ''Export Overview Settings''. It's '''highly recommended''' that you start by making a backup of your settings by exporting them into one file first, before making another export with another name, with the intention of using the second copy as a work-in-progress file.

=== Location of your overview files ===

The files will end up in your documents folder~~. In windows, this will be in your EVE-folder in "My Documents"~~ along with screenshots, chatlots etc (not to be confused with the ~~appdata-location~~ where your other settings are stored)~~. You can either maneuver to this folder or just use the '''Win + R''' command and go to '''%userprofile%\documents\EVE\Overview'''~~. The folder is created automatically the first time you export your settings, so normally you won't have to do that yourself.

Where this folder is depends on your operative system.

=== Editing the overview file ===

The overview is saved in the .yaml file format and can be edited in pretty much any kind of text-editor, like the commonly used [http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/ Notepad++], but of course the standard notepad editor that comes comes with Windows works as well. Simply right-click the file and open it with your favourite text-editor to start editing. The majority of the changes you're likely to make (tab and label edits) will be at the very end of the file.
