How to Export Managed Solution in Dynamics 365

Use this interactive demo to learn how to export a managed solution in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

‍

‍

To export a managed solution in Dynamics 365, follow these steps: 

‍

  1. In Dynamics 365, navigate to settings by clicking the gear icon.
  2. Access 'Solutions'.
  3. Choose the unmanaged solution you wish to export as managed.
  4. Click 'Export solution' on the top menu bar.
  5. Click 'Publish' to ensure all changes are included, then click 'Next'.
  6. Select 'Managed' as the package type.
  7. Then, click 'Export' to download the file to your computer.

📌 Why this matters

Exporting managed solutions lets you deploy your customizations to production environments while protecting your intellectual property. Recipients can install and use your solution but can't modify its components or see your underlying configuration logic.

This becomes especially valuable when you're distributing solutions to clients, partners, or other business units who need the functionality but shouldn't alter your carefully designed workflows, business rules, or custom entities. Managed solutions also handle dependencies automatically, ensuring clean installations across different environments.
