Question:
What is the best practice for testing Export Data configurations without running the risk of causing unintentional index data changes? 

Answer:
The best practice for testing Export Data configurations is to utilize the "Test Export" button on the Export Data settings page. The Assign Data settings will not be applied, allowing the configuration to be tested as many times as needed. 

NOTE: If you test the configuration by running the Export tool, the index data will change depending on the configuration. If testing in this manner results in the unintentional changing of index data for a bulk of documents, and it's required to recover this data, this recovery will come at a fee.
