Let us consider a situation in which we have to use the custom settings that has been done in a drupal site to another drupal site. The common way which is followed in this type of situation is by doing the same custom settings in the new site. But this is not that easy to do. The same situation can be handled by using the 'features module'. The following steps have to be followed in order to use the Features module in Drupal.

1. Download the Features module from drupal.org.

2. Place the module in the sites/all/modules.

3. Goto the modules list page and enable the features module.

4. After enabling the module go to structure -> features-> create feature in the site.

5. Give a name to the feature created.

6. Select the elements that have to be added to the feature.

7. Click on download feature link.

8. Save it inside custom/feature.

9. If existing feature is modified then have to recreate the existing feature.

10. To add changes from file to site-> Click on revert components.
