Rules development is a lot easier with the support of exporting and importing Rules configurations.

-Import/Export tool.

-Features module.

-Default rules.

-Staging and deployment.

• Why you should use the Features and Strongarm modules.
• How to export Rules configuration with Features.
• How to import Feature-exported Rules configuration to a site.
• What reverting rules configuration means, and how to do it from Rules or Features.
• How to (eventually) export Rules configuration manually, and some words about the high readability in the Rules export code.
• How to import manually exported Rules configuration, including some available options/tweaks.
