App Versioning, Publishing, and Export/Import - Kore.ai Docs

The Deploy section covers the full lifecycle of releasing, managing, and migrating AI Agents — from publishing changes for end users to versioning definitions and moving agents across environments.

App Versioning

Snapshot the agent definition at any stage. Restore, compare, or export versions as your development progresses.

Topic	Description
Version Types	User-created vs. auto-created versions and their limits
Creating a Version	Manually snapshot the current agent definition
Version Actions	Restore, export, delete, or compare versions from the listing page
Comparing Versions	Diff any two versions across tasks, training, settings, and more
Restoring a Version	How restoration works per component: tasks, knowledge graph, languages, and channels
Exporting a Version	Download a version archive for backup or reuse

App Publishing

Control what gets released and when. The publishing workflow routes agent updates through admin approval before they reach end users.

Topic	Description
Agent States	In Development vs. Published — what each state means and when they apply
Component Statuses	Status lifecycle for tasks and flows: In Progress, Configured, Awaiting Approval, Published, and more
Publishing an Agent	How to select and submit components for publication
Publishable Components	Full reference of what can be published: flows, tasks, NL model, channels, extensions, and settings
Excluded Components	Components outside the publishing workflow
Publication Approval	How admin approval works for Employee and Consumer agents; setting up auto-approval

App Import & Export

Move agent definitions between environments for migration, cloning, or backup.

Topic	Description
Import Types	Full Import vs. Incremental Import — when to use each
Import to an Existing Agent	Step-by-step import using JSON files or a ZIP archive
Create a New Agent via Import	Bootstrap a new agent from an exported definition
Incremental Import: Component Reference	How each component type is handled during incremental import
Export Modes	Published mode vs. Latest Version mode — which task versions each exports
Steps to Export	How to export an agent and select components
Exported Components Reference	Full list of what is included in an export
