FAQ

What happens if I import twice the same website?

A new website with the latest content from production will be added. Both the old and the new website will be using the same domain.

  • Make sure to change the domain in the website settings of one of the two websites. If you don't do it, it will cause an issue on the local websites.

  • or delete one of them if it is not needed anymore. (it will only delete it on your dev environment). The easiest is to delete it before doing the import, this way you are sure which one to remove

How can I update unit data?

For now, to update unit data we need to reset all the unit data with data from production.
