For backing up a solution is it better to export the solution or do a clone? Any references please link. Thanks.
Hi bp3378,
Exporting a solution will allow you to transport your configuration changes from one environment to another or to store your configuration into your source control system.

When you want to plan your next version of the solution, you usually want to rollup all of the patches that were released for the base solution into the new solution, before you can add new changes in there. This can be done using the “Clone Solution” button.

I’m trying to use ribbon workbench and before I publish I want to make a copy of the solution in case it gets messed up. So I guess exporting the solution is the option I should use?
