    Hi Ahmad ,

    Are you going to import data or solution?

    For data you can export and  import but for solution you cant downgrade as there is no option for target solution version  when you export solution from V9.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Ahmad,

    1.You can do it by Excel you can export data from dynamics 365 to your on-premise environment

    2.you can do it by using the Configuration Migration Tool

    docs.microsoft.com/.../import-data-all-record-types

    3.the most complex option is to use SSIS

    Hi Ahmad,

    Use configuration migration tool for less amount of data.
