Export / Import Page Configurations

Export / Import also appears as a tab in screens that manage pages (Manage > Page and

Manage > Control Panel screens display these tabs). For example, click Manage > Settings

in the Dock. Use the checkboxes on the Export / Import page to select exactly what elements

to export. The automated file name includes your login identity, the date, and the

lar

extension. The file itself is a compressed collection of XML file configuration settings for the

Pages / Portlets you have elected export. Its destination is the browser’s default download

location.
