Dari guide → Debugging with Dari → Database Storage Item bulk operations
This tool provides bulk copy of file-based data from one Brightspot project to another. File-based data is represented by StorageItem objects that are persisted to the database.

Dari guide → Data modeling → Modifications
Modifications allow you to add new fields to existing classes. Modifications are most often used to apply a common set of fields and behaviors to a group of classes. Modifications can also be used to add fields to an existing class for which you do not have access to the source code, such as Brightspot system classes.

Dari guide → Data modeling → Substitutions
Substitutions allow you to override existing methods in a base class that you cannot modify (for example, the source comes from an external dependency). As a result, Dari substitutes the new methods for the original methods everywhere the base class is used.

Dari guide → Data modeling → Augmentations
Augmentations enable adding implementations of interfaces to an existing class that you cannot modify (for example, the source comes from an external dependency). An augmentation extends the Augmentation class and specifies the interface to be implemented.

Dari guide → Data modeling → Alterations
Alterations apply or modify annotations to classes and class members when you cannot modify the original class. An annotation can be added or modified if its processor modifies the state of ObjectType or ObjectField. An alteration extends the Alteration class with the target of the alteration, which must be of type Recordable.
