I have a prod, dev, and test server for Ignition. I recently made some changes in the dev and want to start testing it on the test server. Is there a way to only import the work I’ve done in dev on the few windows I worked on? Or does this require a full backup of my dev project and restoring it on test?

Export the app from DEV.  
Open the existing app in TEST, right click on the project tree and select IMPORT.  
Browse to the exported DEV app, select the parts you want to import and hit ok.
