Import or Export Sources

Understand how to import a list of sources or export existing sources.

When working with data and data sources, you may want to export your existing sources and then import that file later. For example, you may have sources that are relevant to multiple tenants. Rather than uploading files and generating each source again for each tenant, you can export the sources from one tenant and import them into a different tenant.

Note:  

In the exported JSON file, there's a tenant field defining the tenant from which the sources were exported:

Copy 
"tenant" : {
    "tenantName" : "WFF_j1r"
}

If you are exporting and importing sources from one tenant to another, you must change the tenantName field to match the tenant to which you are importing.

You can also export sources to save a copy of those sources on your local computer for additional assurance that your work is saved.

The exported ZIP file is a compressed changelist file containing your sources. You can import the unzipped changelist file to a tenant.
