What is the purpose of a Datapack in OmniStudio?

The purpose of a Datapack in OmniStudio is to export and import collections of components. Datapacks serve as a mechanism for packaging and transferring related elements such as data sources, data models, and various configurations. This functionality is particularly valuable in scenarios where there is a need to move components between different environments, such as from a development environment to a production environment.

Additionally, using Datapacks facilitates the organization and deployment of multiple components as a single unit, thus streamlining workflows and enhancing efficiency. The ability to import and export these collections reduces the chance of errors that could arise from individually handling components, ensuring a more cohesive transition and implementation process within Salesforce environments.
