## Description

Feel free to play with your Theme Mods under “Appearance” > “Customizer” without
worrying about losing your settings! When you are happy with your settings, just
click the “Create Backup” button and you’ll always be able to revert to those exact
settings in the future. You can even download the backups to make sure you save 
multiple copies in a safe place.

Or, if you want to develop your customizer locally and then automatically set up
those options to match on your live site, simply download a Customizer Backup and
Upload it to your live site. You could even send your Customizer settings to your
friends or customers.

For Theme/Plugin Developers: This is also a way to create a “Theme within a Theme”–
by allowing a single theme to have many different pre-set styles. For example, you
could use an activation hook in a plugin to use a backup (in JSON format) and make
plugins re-style a Theme. If your plugin does change the Customizer styles, you 
could also trigger an auto backup of the user’s current settings so that you don’t
permanently erase any of the user’s settings.

 3. Once activated, you’ll see a notice at the top of your dashboard to “Install All
