# Export Production Package for Self Hosted Deployment

Whatfix enables you to export Whatfix content if you are in a [self-hosted mode](/studio/docs/what-is-the-difference-between-self-hosted-and-on-premise-deployment-models) and use [JavaScript mode of delivery](/studio/docs/integrating-whatfix-using-javascript).

On the Whatfix Guidance Dashboard, you can choose to export the production deployment package with or without the [multi-format content](/studio/docs/multi-format-outputs).

Use the following steps to export the production package:

          **Note:**

          

Only an **Account Manager** can perform the following task. For more information about available roles, see [Whatfix User Roles](/studio/docs/whatfix-user-roles).

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, go to the **Ready** stage.

          Info:

          

Ensure all the content and widgets you want to go live are moved from the Draft stage to the Ready stage.

In the **Draft** stage, select the content you want to move, and then click **Send to ready**. ![clm_db_send_to_ready_button1](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/clm_db_send_to_ready_button%281%29.jpg)

1. In the **Ready** stage, click **Publish all**. ![clm_db_p2p](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/clm_db_publish_all%281%29.jpg)

          Note:

          Info:

          

The **Published package** option is visible only to users with Self Hosted deployment method. To enable Self Hosted deployment, contact [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?Subject=Export%20Production%20package%20option%20missing&Body=Hi%20team%2C%0A%0AI%20don%27t%20see%20the%20Export%20Production%20package%20option%20in%20my%20account.%20Kindly%20help.%0AENT%20ID%3A).

1. In the **Choose Export preference** dialog box, click **Data+Script** or **Data Only**, depending on your preference.

          Info:

          

**Data Only**: Enables you to export only the Whatfix content and widgets. You can choose to export only the Data, when you've updated only one or two content units that do not impact the Whatfix Embed Script or Advanced Customization (AC) scripts.

**Data+Script**: This option enables you to export Whatfix content and widgets along with the Whatfix Embed Script, Advanced customization (AC) scripts, and more. You can choose to export both Data and Script, when there is a product release with new features that impact the Embed Script or you've made changes to the AC code in your account.

1. Click **Export**.
