Can i move a document intelligence custom extraction model from a resource present in one tenant and subscription to a different tenant and subscription( model in Resource A ,Tenant A , Subscription A to Resource B, Tenant B, Subscription B)

Question

I have built a custom extraction model for extracting entities using Azure Document Intelligence resource named R1 in a test environment which is present on Subscription named SA1 ,tenant named TA1. Now i would like to copy this model to other resource named R2 which is present in subscription named SA2 and tenant TA2.

Is there a way to to achieve this?

Hi Suma ADM. Paluri

Currently, Azure does not support directly transferring a custom extraction model from one resource to another across different tenants and subscriptions. However, you can work around this by exporting the model and importing it into the new resource in the target subscription and tenant.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

• You can export your custom model as a resource package from the source resource (Resource A, Tenant A, Subscription A).
• After exporting the model, you can import it into the target Azure Document Intelligence resource (Resource B, Tenant B, Subscription B) via the Azure portal or using the Document Intelligence API.
• Depending on your use case, you might need to re-train the model or validate it after importing to ensure everything works as expected in the new environment.
• After the import, you will receive a new model ID for the model in the target resource, and you may need to update any application logic that references the old model ID.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further queries.

Thank you, @Pavankumar Purilla, for your answer. I followed the steps you outlined, including authorizing the copy, copying the model, and validating it within the environment. However, I'm encountering difficulty locating the model within the Document Intelligence Studio. I've observed that the model is only visible when retrieving the list of models via an HTTP API call.

Is there a method to view the copied model directly within the Document Intelligence Studio interface, without relying on HTTP scripts? I'm looking for a way to visualize and interact with the model within the studio itself.
