All package export types follow this structure:

*   Configuration entities are exported as .yml files with pretty-printed JSON data for easier reviews of introduced changes
*   File dependencies, such as fonts and media files are exported in their respective formats
*   Metadata for file dependencies is exported in _“sitestudio\_package\_files.json”_ file
*   If a package contains a Package Entity, it will be included as a .yml file in the export (ex: _cohesion\_sync.cohesion\_sync\_package.pack\_uikit.yml_)
*   After importing a package that contains a Package Entity, it will be created and be available for editing on the destination site
