# ASAPP Messaging Updates - Virtual Agent

> New updates and improvements for ASAPP Messaging - Virtual Agent

<Update label="2024 - Import and Export Flows">
  ## Import and Export Flows

  Provide flow builders with the ability to promote a flow from lower environments into production environments.

  Export Button is available in the lower environment company marker to download a JSON file containing the flow details for a specific version.

  Further, there is an import function in the production environment company marker where a user can upload (import) a JSON file with the flow details for a particular version.

  This feature allows flow builders to export the JSON file for a given flow and then import the JSON file into to the production company marker. This allows the user to promote the flow from the lower environments into the production environment.

    ## How it Works

    In AI Console, a user navigates to the Flows tab of Virtual Agent to import a version of the flow.

    The user navigates to the list of flows in the Virtual Agent tooling and clicks the "Import flow" button. The normal window to find and upload a file on the computer is brought up.

    * If the flow already exists it will be auto-incremented to a new version to save it.
    * If the flow does not exist it is saved with the associated index file and the version set is #1.
      Users can select the flow and choose to export.
