You can edit the exported files\nand deploy them again with\n[`redis-di deploy`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/integrate/redis-data-integration/reference/cli/redis-di-deploy),\nto the same pipeline or to another one.\n\nThe export contains secret references such as `${MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD}`, but no secret values, and\nthe secrets themselves stay with the pipeline. Before you deploy an export to another pipeline or\nto another RDI instance, set the secrets there with\n[`redis-di set-secret`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/integrate/redis-data-integration/reference/cli/redis-di-set-secret).\n\nIf the directory already contains a configuration, the command asks for confirmation before it\nreplaces it, unless you pass `--force`. It replaces `config.yaml` and deletes the job files in\n`jobs` that do not belong to the exported pipeline, and it leaves other files alone."
