elluminate supports the ability to export configuration items that exist for a study. This is especially useful when migrating between URLs; for example, when moving from a test environment to a production environment. Exporting a configuration item creates an Excel spreadsheet with the details based upon your selections.

Using this feature will not export any data, but can, if selected, export the details about the data sources as well as import and export definitions for a study or global data store.
