Export Content - Mura Docs v7.0

Export Content

Mura CMS offers the capability to export content from your website. You can choose to export your entire site, a section of your site, or even just a page. This is useful for creating a simple backup of a small section of your site, or if you want to move/copy a section of your website to a completely different Mura CMS website.

How to Export Content

  1. Log in to the back-end administration area of the website.
  2. Select the content item representing either the page or section you wish to export, and edit the content item.
  3. From the Edit Content screen, click the Actions button, and select Export.
  4. If the content item you've selected has any children (sub-pages, files, etc.), you should be presented with the Export Content screen. If you're exporting a single content item without children, this screen will not appear.
    1. You may choose to export either the Children Only, or This Content Item and Children. When making your selection, you may wish to consider how you will be using the content you are exporting. For example, if you want to include the "News" landing page in addition to its children, then select "This Content Item and Children."
    2. Once you've made your selection, click Export Content.
    3. From the Alert dialog window, click Yes to confirm your selection.
  5. Once Mura CMS bundles the content together for you, a prompt to save the export file as a .ZIP document will appear. You can choose to save it wherever you wish.
  6. The exported file is now ready for archival and/or ready to be imported into another Mura CMS site.
