All assignments (for pin locations, I/O standards and more), including those made by the pin planner, are stored in the current project revision's *.qsf file. They are readable (tcl commands) text and can be inspected, copied, and - if you like - manually edited (as long as the project isn't opened). The *.qsf file is automatically updated when closing the project.
