The import and export of element repository is now available in JSON format only. The shift to exclusively using JSON format for the import and export of the Element Repository is an enhancement as it ensures consistency, reduces complexity, and minimizes potential errors during data handling. JSON, being a structured and lightweight format, is better suited for managing hierarchical data like the element repository. It also improves compatibility with modern systems and tools, streamlining integration and making the process more efficient and reliable compared to the dual format approach.
If the user upgrades to the latest version of Avo Assure to 24.2.0, this feature will be available automatically.
