A team maintains a set of automation scripts in a custom content pack. They want to distribute an update to one script to other XSOAR instances in their organization. What is the recommended way to manage the script version and propagate the update?

Create a new script with a different name and update all playbooks in each instance.

Export the script as a JSON file and import it into each instance individually.

Update the script in the pack, increment the pack version, and use the Marketplace or manual pack upload to distribute the new version.

Edit the script directly in each XSOAR instance to ensure consistency.

A playbook has a task that runs a script to check if an IP is malicious. The script returns 'true' or 'false'. The analyst wants the playbook to branch to different tasks based on the result. What is the correct way to configure the playbook to use the script's output for branching?

Create a separate playbook for each possible outcome and call them from the script.

Add a conditional task after the script task that references the script's output context key.

Configure the script task itself to have multiple exit paths based on the return value.

Use the script's error handling to branch on success or failure.

Which XSOAR feature allows a developer to run an automation script with sample data to verify its behavior before using it in a playbook?

The 'Debug' button in the playbook builder

The 'Validate' button in the script editor

The 'Test' button in the script editor

In XSOAR, what is the purpose of creating a new version of an automation script when making changes?

To increase the script's execution speed

To automatically update all playbooks that use the script

To allow playbooks to continue using the previous version while the new version is tested

To permanently delete the old version from the system
