Export module to older CRM version

Question

Hello,

I would like to export a module from our demo site (11.1.0) to a customer site (10.0.4).

My initial attempt failed to import. Is there a clean way to export to an older version?

Thanks.

I would always recommend testing on the same version before deploying to a customer. 
 Having said that, if you are not doing anything particularly version-dependent, it's probably just a question of your Manifest limiting the acceptable_sugar_versions and not allowing you to install the package on an older version.

Francesca, 
 
 Thanks for the reply. I was getting a specific error about "unknown file type" and it was referencing a .zip file. I ended up editing the manifest and deleting all files in the ZIPS folder. That allowed me to import the module. That has led to a new problem that I will create a new thread on.
