Exporting objects

Object export overview
You create an export package and add objects and dependent objects to the package in the Object Finder panel of the Object Migration tool.

Creating an export package
You can create a package that does not initially contain any pre-loaded objects and then add only the objects that you want. You can also create a full package or a package that contains pre-loaded objects that were published on or after a specific date.

Object Finder search parameters
You can select any one search parameter or a combination of search parameters to filter your search to specific groups of objects.

Specifying objects to add to the export package
The process of adding objects to the export package is the most complicated part of the migration preparation. It involves including the right objects in the package. It also might involve excluding objects from the package.

Creating a file by using an export package
When an export package contains the objects that you want, you create a .zip file that you will use to migrate your changes from one environment to another.
