Is this really the version you are looking for? Kentico Xperience 10 Documentation is no longer updated. Use the switcher in the header to choose your product version.
You can export and import website content and settings from one Kentico instance to another. You can use the import and export features to manually move websites or selected objects between development, testing and production (live) servers.
When transferring data via import packages, we strongly recommend using exactly the same version for all of your instances. Importing of packages between different versions is possible with the following limitations:
Export folder structure - learn how the folder structure of your web project is affected during export and import.
Export/import package directory browsing - protect your exported packages against file enumeration attacks.
Excluding files and folders from export - you can leave out specific files and folders from the export.
Exporting sites - export entire websites, including their settings and related objects.
Exporting objects - export only selected objects (web parts, page types, page templates, etc.).
Exporting single objects - you can export certain objects individually to create backups (for example CSS stylesheets, E-mail templates or Page layouts).
Importing a site or objects - import exported website packages or object packages.
Importing to web application projects - you need to take additional steps when importing into Kentico instances installed in the web application format.
Export and ID values
The system cannot ensure that pages and objects have the same ID values after being exported from one environment to another. However, the export process preserves GUID (opens in a new tab) values. Use GUID fields if you need to identify pages or objects that have been transferred across multiple environments.
