Exporting and importing assets

In the dam workspace, asset data are stored as binary data under the jcr:data subnodes. If you export an asset (or folder) from the app, an XML file will be exported and the data will be part of it. An XML file is therefore expected if you want to import an asset.

Exporting

To export an asset or folder:

  1. Select an item or folder.

  2. In the Action bar, click Export.

The exported XML file will contain also asset (folder) metadata such as mgnl:activationStatus. If you delete the asset on the author instance, publish the deletion and reimport the asset to the instance, the asset will retain the publication status even though it no longer exists on the public instance.

Importing

To import an asset or folder:

  1. Navigate to the location where you want to import the data.

  2. In the Action bar, click Import.

  3. In the Upload dialog, click Upload.

  4. Select an XML file or drag and drop it into the File area.

  5. Click Import.
