Version limits for importing story exports
There are no version limits. Tines maintains backward compatibility for story imports.
Tines Tip: In Tines, the story export JSON file captures a snapshot of a story's configuration, enabling it to be re-imported into another team or tenant. This file's schema includes the necessary configurations for the story to run, excluding resources, credentials, and data generated by the story (i.e. action events).
Exporting a story
To export a story:
On your stories page, click the 3 dot icon on the story you want to export.
Select Export.
Check the boxes if you want to randomize page/webhook URLs and/or clear email addresses and monitoring recipients.
Click Export.
The file will download.
Export a story as an image
Export your story as an image via the three-dot menu within your story.
Select the "Save as image" option.
