Description

Hi,

I've noted this behaviour.

Steps:

  1. Export a process
  2. Save the file
  3. export the same process
  4. compare this new file with the one saved in step 2

I noted that there are a large number of changes between the two files, is this behaviour correct?

Then trace the export and serialization entry points to identify which changes are generated without process edits; done means determining whether the differences are expected or making repeated exports consistent.
