Exporting and importing solutions

An essential part of every ALM process is to export and import solutions. The idea is that we can export a solution containing our customizations from a development environment and import it to a downstream environment. We will learn more about the specifics of the different approaches in the coming chapters.

Here, we have two ways of exporting a solution, the same as we had for removing components from a solution.

We can use the context menu in a solution by clicking the three vertical dots beside the name. In that context menu, we can select Export solution.

The second approach is to select a solution from the list and use Export solution from the ribbon menu.
