Exporting and Distributing Modules

OScript modules developed with CSIDE can be exported and distributed to other Content Servers using the OScript Export Module Wizard. The wizard exports the module in a format that is suitable for adding the module to the staging folder of a Content Server.

When your module is ready for distribution, invoke the wizard through the menu File > Export... and select the OScript > Export Module wizard.
