What is included when you export a site?
Data that persists
When you export a site, the following data will carry over to a new site during import:
- Site content
- Branding
- Control Panel CSS
Data that does not carry over
Historic information, such as report data and page revisions, does not come over with the import.
Download report data before an export.
Why? Because page GUIDs will be different, to ensure page IDs are not duplicated between the two sites. For example, Article A on Site A will have a different GUID than Article A on Site B, even though the page was copied over during export / import.
