This feature helps you in the migration of bot definition, cloning of assistants, or for maintaining a periodic backup of bot definitions. It is particularly helpful to test various versions of your assistant at different stages of the development process before it is released for end users. The articles in this section help you understand how the <em>Export <\/em>and <em>Import <\/em>features work and how to perform them. NOTE: Post v8.0 release, the <em>enableNegativePatterns<\/em> flag will be included in \u2018NLP Settings\u2019 under \u2018NLP Data\u2019 in the exported and imported bot definitions. This flag is used to check if the Negative Patterns are enabled\/disabled in the assistant. Prior to this patch, this flag was part of \u2018NLP Settings\u2019 under \u2018NLP Data\u2019 in the imported bot definitions and \u2018Bot Setting\u2019 under \u2018Setting\u2019 in the exported bot definitions. This change is aimed at streamlining the functionality and might result in the failure to the incremental import of a bot from an export file generated before v8.0. <\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column \">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"w-separator size_small with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_border align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column \">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importing_an_Assistant\">Importing an Assistant<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can import tasks and configurations of a specific assistant into a new or existing assistant using one of these import types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full import<\/strong>: Replaces the existing assistant with the imported configurations.
