The ExportAs feature provides the ability to export elements from an application on the current version of AB Suite into a PModel file that is compatible with the previous version of AB Suite. This allows you to develop the next version of your application on the latest version of AB Suite. This also allows you to create fixes for the current application in the same environment and port it back to the previous version of AB Suite.
Note: The process of upgrading an application to AB Suite 7.0 alters the model structure. Hence, when the AB Suite 7.0 application is imported back to AB Suite 6.1 through an ExportAs .pmodel file, the structure is modified slightly. However, these changes do not affect the Runtime application.
