Product delivery

Export and import

Move a product between Converge environments as a signed file.

Export

On a product card, More > Export downloads a .product.json file. It contains the product's name and description and every version with its resource RIDs, changelog, channel, linked products, tags and input presets. Exporting needs the owner role when the product has store permissions.

The file is signed by the Converge environment that produced it.

Import

In the Products toolbar, choose Import and select the file. Converge:

  1. checks the signature: any change to the file is refused;
  2. checks every version (numbering, linked products, tags, input presets);
  3. checks that every packaged resource exists and that you can read it;
  4. creates a new product with all versions, owned by you.

Limits

The file carries resource references, not the resources themselves. Import works where those resources exist: in the same environment, or one restored from a backup of it. Ontology definitions move with ontology packs, not with product files.
