Ok I see, certain instance-specific data like users and tokens are not part of the exported data. That’s very good indeed!
This + we’ll introduce custom rules that you can define for your data (filters, transformations) with helpers that know about Strapi data architecture so you don’t have to deal with low levels implementation and rather deal with higher-level Strapi abstractions. Also, again it’ll all makes more sense when we’ll release the next iterations regarding the programmatic data providers’ API.
I tend to get a little overwhelmed by the potential sources of information about Strapi. There is the Forum, Discord, the community calls, the blog, the documentation, the feature request page, GitHub. It feels a little decentralized and important information tends to get overlooked.
Thanks again for your detailed feedback, I’ve shared that internally with the team and we’re discussing what could be done better to prevent that kind of confusion in the future.
