After downloading the manifest, you can go to another Seven Bridges Platform to import those files using our Import DRS from a manifest feature.

Important notes:

  • The exported manifest file can be used as any other file in the project, i.e. copied to another project, used in a task, etc.
  • You can reuse the exported manifest without changing its structure (columns). You can edit metadata schema and custom metadata fields (other fields are treated as read-only - this pertains to id, name, size and project fields) and submit the edited manifest file.
  • The maximum file size for the manifest is 5 GiB.
  • The exported manifest file contains metadata for files only.
  • The following columns are available in the manifest:
    • DRS URI
    • name (along with path within the project)
    • metadata schema fields
    • custom metadata fields
