NotesNotes

JSON only
Exported files are structured JSON - not spreadsheets. They are meant to be imported back into QAlity.
What is included
Exports include the selected entities at the time of export. Run results and execution history are not included.
Version scope
Import and export run against the current project version.
No deduplication
If you import the same file twice into the same project, duplicate records are created.
