    As you should know this tool is NOT available for VS 2022 as per the tool's landing page. The support for VS 2022 will come post June 2022.

    Great post thanks! In the previous version of Developer tool there was an option to add your existing JavaScripts / Web Resource from your instance back to your project. It looks like it's missing this feature. Do you know if this feature is deprecated?

Import Repo to the new Organization Remember here you have to generate a personal token to be able to import the Repo you have to be a member of the new organization as well This might take a few minutes depending on the size of your project, once its complete you will receive a confirmation email, or just refresh it after few minutes So far all looks good, you can clone the solution in your new Organizati...
