To transport an object, you must first create a transport request, record changes in the request, release the request, and then import the request on the target system. This involves the following steps:
1. Create a transport request by selecting "Workbench Request" or "Customizing Request" in the transport organizer.
2. Record changes by adding objects like tables or programs to the request.
3. Release the request after changes have been added.
4. Import the released request on the target system using the transport management system.
