With the Export / Import feature it is possible to setup a WorkPoint solution in another test or production environment. Please note that this feature is still in beta and is not supported like normal released software.
Note:This is not meant as a staging environment, and you must import to an empty WorkPoint solution. The Exported solution must be the same WorkPoint version and language as the solution you are importing to. Additionally if you have a solution with a language other than English, you must have English selected as an alternative language.
