[Resolved] Module Manager vs Import/Export

I have a live site and a development environment. The live site is up and running nicely with Toolset, but I continue to create new capabilities which means more views, layouts, content templates, forms, etc. I am creating new Toolset elements (view, forms, layouts, etc) as well as editing existing ones. I'm wondering what they recommended approach is for moving these Toolset items from the development server to the production server. Is this where import/export comes into play? Or should I be using the module manager? I do not want to move post data, just the various Toolset elements which manipulate and display the data.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

In your case, I think both are the same. When you use import/export, chose the post type, custom fields etc..etc you want to exaport and import them later:

With module manager - you are grouping different entities like views, post type, custom field into one module:

Thanks for your perspective. I'll give it a try with import/export.
