Export a Module
In Studio, you can find two tools that allow you to export a module with or without dependencies to your device. You can export .xml files that can then be used to import the module into another Studio environment, or you can also download dependencies to then instance them as extensions into Marketplace.
Read below to learn about the Export options available in Studio.
Export
To export a module, click Global > Modules. The [Modules] List tab opens. Use the search bar to find your module by name, user, or update date, or hover the cursor over the module you want to export. Click the vertical three-dot icon and then click Export. A pop-up window opens to confirm the export process.
Click Export if you want to export the module alone or click Export with Dependencies if you want to download your module together with any dependencies. A green pop-up message appears to inform you that the export is in process. Once the process is finished, an .xml file is downloaded to your computer.
To customize a module's export file and export dependencies separately, please refer to Export a Module and its Dependencies.
Export a Module and its Dependencies
A new export tool allows you to export modules created in Studio and download them to your computer as a .zip. Each zip folder contains a .json file and a .xml.gz file that can then be used to import the module into another Studio environment. Also, this tool allows to export dependencies individually, which can be uploaded to Marketplace for reuse.
To export a module, click Global > Modules. The [Modules] List tab opens. Use the search bar to find your module by name, user, or update date, or hover the cursor over the module you want to export. Click the vertical three-dot icon and then click Export module. The [Export Module] page opens in the Content detail tab, where you can customize the content you wish to export.
The tab displays choice chips with different categories. Next to the category name, a number indicates how many elements of that category live within your module. Click the category you want to explore to see a list of elements, each one of them with basic information.
Click the checkbox next to the elements you wish to export, and leave the box blank for those you do not want to include in the exported module, except for screens, which cannot be deselected. Then, click Export. The download begins automatically.
If your module contains other modules as dependencies, you are directed to the Dependencies tab. Read the section below to learn how to export dependencies.
On the Dependencies tab, you see a list of every module that is set as dependency to your main module.
You can export any module dependency to then add it as an extension to an application. To do it, click the module's name. The [Export dependency] page opens, and shows elements that live within the selected module. Again, check the elements you wish to export and click Export, as explained in the section above. The download begins automatically.
