What is the best practice when exporting and importing updates to ES content?

The best practice when exporting and importing updates to Enterprise Security content emphasizes the importance of maintaining distinct app names for different versions or updates. Using new app names not only helps avoid conflicts with existing apps but also allows for better version control and clarity when managing different iterations of content. Additionally, it aids in tracking changes over time, as distinct names can reflect specific content updates or changes in functionality.

When different versions of an app are exported with new names, it provides users or admins the ability to differentiate between versions easily. This practice minimizes confusion and potential issues when multiple modifications or updates are live simultaneously. It also simplifies the rollback process, as one can revert to an earlier version that maintains its own identity.

While other practices, like maintaining the same app names or creating backup apps, are important for organization and safety, they do not offer the same level of clarity in versioning and management that adopting new app names provides. Performing exports and imports within the same session might streamline the process logistically but does not necessarily contribute to clarity or version management.
