The import/export function can be used to export the Content Gate configuration from one Content Gate environment and import this configuration into another environment.

Content Requests

The content request functionality of Axtension® Content Gate enables users to request content from non-Content Gate users within our outside your organization.

Further, we need to configure an Azure Blob storage location for temporary storing the uploaded document. Each uploaded document is stored in this location, until the review process of the document is completed. After the completion of this review process, the file will be moved to the applicable storage provider as configured in the storage settings.
