Best practices for promoting Metabase dashboards, questions, and models from the dev environment to the staging (stg) environment.

[HughLe]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for guidance on how we should promote Metabase assets across environments. Specifically, I have two questions:

1. Promotion workflow:
   What is the recommended or supported way to promote dashboards, questions, and models from the dev environment to the stg environment?
2. Export / import capability:
   Is there any way to export dashboards, questions, or models into portable formats (such as JSON or YAML) and then import them into the stg environment?

Any best practices, tooling, or prior experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
