How can I move trained bot from Test to Production

Question

I have a question and answer bot that I setup in our test environment. Once I have it working, I export the QnAs to a TSV file, import them into our production environment, and deploy that project. I never make changes directly to the production environment. (I do this with a powershell script in our deployment pipeline - not manually)

I now have a new question and answer bot that I need to train, using the Review suggestions tab of language studio. I've trianed it in the test environment, but I don't know how to get the training info to prod. I don't want to train it directly in production, because that would require releasing untrained questions and answers for a period of time

It doesn't look like the training data is in the Q&A export.

Is there an API to export this training data? I see some APIs related to training but nothing the imports/exports.

How can I train in test, and get the training data to production?

Hello @Chambers, Don M. (CTR) , to create a copy of your custom question answering project or related question and answer pairs for several reasons:

• To implement a backup and restore process
• To integrate with your CI/CD pipeline
• To move your data to different regions

You can refer to this documentation by following the steps to export project/questions and answers: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/language-service/question-answering/how-to/export-import-refresh
