elluminate supports exporting configuration items associated with a study. This is especially useful when migrating between URLs, such as moving from a test environment to a production environment. Exporting a configuration item generates an Excel spreadsheet with details based on the selected options.

This feature does not export study data. However, if selected, it can include metadata such as data source details, as well as import and export definitions for a study or global data store.
