Export List Contents

[jyoung]

When an export list is created (before it is exported to a save file), are the contents the list a snapshot/copy of the object or a reference to the object?

I am trying to figure out our process of deployment and going through creating an Export List with all objects from a particular task id.

If I create that list and add objects to it then update (via check-in) an object in that list, does the list contain the updated object?
If an object in the list is a reference then it should have the updated information, if it is a snapshot then it will not, right?

Once the list is exported into a save file, it makes sense that the objects are then snapshots but what happens before?

Thanks,
Joe

It is a reference. So the object is grabbed at the time you do the export.
