Export conditions do not change text. They decide whether a value or the whole item should appear in the result. Use them to exclude empty rows, products without price, inactive SKUs, and temporary service data.

Scope
- Field or cell condition clears only this value. The rest of the row or product remains in the result.
- Row or item condition excludes the whole result object: a table row, product, offer, or XML/JSON element.
- For XML nodes, node conditions apply to the whole node because the node is a structural part of the result.
Before or after transformations
You can check the source value before transformations, or check the cleaned and normalized value after transformations.
If you need to affect the rule chain itself, use NOT_LOAD or SKIP in transformations. The difference is covered in the separate article about NOT_LOAD and export conditions.
