When a project is created and device configuration and programming within it is also edited and compiled successfully, you can export the whole project for sharing with others. The sharees can deploy their projects easily in the field by importing your shared projects.
Note: The fully exported project contains devices with a key-binding relationship with the current computer. If a new computer is to connect to such a device, the sharee can only import the whole project with the authorization of the sharer, otherwise, in order to perform commissioning and other operations on the new computer, the device must be factory reset or unbound from the sharer’s computer.
See "Connecting to a physical device" for more information on unbinding.
See "Factory reset" for more information on factory reset.
