Hi, is there a difference in copying a tenant vs creating a snapshot then exporting and importing it?

does one include customizations, etc or do they basically do the same thing?

Hi @mna10 

A copy is just basically copying some information. A snapshot is how you can chose what information you want to put into a new instance or company. Depends on what information is needed. Do you need transactional history or just inventory, vendor and customer records?

Hi @mna10 

Neither one includes customizations. You will always need to publish those separately.
