Full Files vs. Update Files
Product data exports contain all product data (Full Files) by default. The default will always be a full file export. If you have selected any filter, the filter will be applied in the export. Full files can be exported from the Catalog or the Import/Export menu.
Receivers and Channels can choose to export only the product data that has been updated (Update Files) since the last time an export was created (Once the Updated file is downloaded, the count resets to "0" and will go up as channel products are updated) this can be visualized in the Updates Available column, next to each Plan.
