Summary
Consolidates one or more toolboxes (a .tbx or .pyt file) to a specified output folder.
Usage
Tools and parameters may have been added, removed, or modified between the ArcGIS Pro version installed and the version selected for the Version parameter. If you want to consolidate a toolbox to an earlier version and capabilities that are only available in the newer version are included, the tool will produce warning or error messages based on a comparison of the version compatibility of the tool or tools included in the package.
