   For the User Guide update, I understand the thinking behind adding two main bullets. But to reduce repetition, I thought we could add something like this:
   
   ```
   - *Download flow definition*: This option allows the user to download the flow definition of the process group as a JSON file. The file can be used as a backup or imported into a link:https://nifi.apache.org/registry.html[NiFi Registry^] using the <<toolkit-guide.adoc#nifi_CLI,NiFi CLI>>. There are two choices when downloading a flow definition:
   
   ** *Without external services*: Controller services referenced by the selected process group but outside its scope (e.g., services in a parent group) _will not be_ included in the flow definition.
   ** *With external services*: Controller services referenced by the selected process group but outside its scope (e.g., services in a parent group) _will be_ included in the flow definition.
   
   (Note: If "Download flow definition" is selected for a versioned process group, there is no versioning information in the download. In other words, the resulting contents of the JSON file is the same whether the process group is versioned or not.)
   ```
