Hi,
what are the necessary thing which are required for successful import application process (one environment to another) from older version to latest version in APPIAN?

Hi Ankit,
You need to ensure that the application doesn't contain anything that has been completely removed by Appian. Appian takes care of making the updates, backward compatible, however, there might be some changes that impact the precious configurations.
Not sure if we can find those changes documented anywhere, but AFAIK, these are the only things that you need to take care of when deploying from the lower version to a higher version.
There are several other things that you need to take care of while deploying but anyways need to be taken care of in any deployment. They are not dependent on the version mismatch.
You can see any features that have been deprecated (and which release they were deprecated in) in this docs page: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/latest/Deprecated_Features.html
That being said, while Appian frequently deprecates features, it's actually extremely uncommon that a feature is removed entirely - in fact, I don't see anything in that list of deprecated features that has actually been removed. You might see several evolved functions in your app, which means that a new version was added that has new functionality, but the original version is still supported.
In general I'd suggest just importing your application and doing testing like normal in this case.
