# Download → review → send workflow

The download and send commands let you separate data collection from upload. This is useful when you want to inspect what will be sent before it reaches Hivel, or when you need to transfer the snapshot via a different channel (email, secure file share, etc.).

```
# Step 1 - pull data from your tools to disk (no Hivel token needed)
./hivel-agent --config config.yml --env-file .env download --output-dir /tmp/snapshot --verbose
 
# Step 2 - inspect the snapshot
ls /tmp/snapshot/jira/
# jira_issues.json.gz  jira_projects_and_versions.json.gz  summary.json  status.json  ...
 
# Step 3 - send the snapshot to Hivel (no source credentials needed)
./hivel-agent --config config.yml --env-file .env send --input-dir /tmp/snapshot
```

The snapshot directory can also be zipped and shared with Hivel support for offline review if needed.
