Can a synthetic node be exported or downloaded to be recreated in a different network?

I have created a synthetic node inside a workspace to run down the various connections for a complex multibranch setup with multiple MPLS vpns and Internet VPNs. Is there a way to move or download the synthetic nodes so I can recreate them inside the parent network now that I have confirmed the accuracy inside the workspace? Note that I am trying to move it from a workspace back to the parent network - otherwise I would just recreate the workspace from the parent and include the synthetic.

Has anyone modeled corporate VPN?

Hey Folks!I’m looking to find out if anyone has modeled their corporate VPN access - maybe using Synthetic Devices - in such a way that allows you to search for user workflows to determine if they are allowed, and have them properly modeled as coming in through the VPN Firewall instead of at the switch VLAN. We are looking to create intent checks for access through our VPN. Happy NQEing!
