# Site structure export and import

Administrators can seamlessly import and export the Page Builder site structure using a JSON file.

This feature is essential for moving site structures across different environments, such as from development to production.

## Using JSON files for Import and Export

To use the import and export feature, administrators must follow specific steps:

1. Export the existing site structure to a JSON file.
2. Import the JSON file into the desired environment.

> [!WARNING]
> Warning
> 
> Import only JSON files exported from a Page Builder. Do not import JSON files exported from the legacy Visual Site Manager (VSM), as they are not compatible.

This process allows for easy migration and backup of the site structure, ensuring that editorial teams can quickly move site structures across different environments and always revert to a stable version if needed.

## Benefits of the Import and Export feature

- Streamlines the editorial process, reducing administrative workload when synchronizing the Page Builder across environments.
- Enables efficient backup and restoration of site structures.

## How does it work?

The capability to export and import the Page Builder site structure through JSON files significantly enhances the overall experience for administrators and editorial teams.

This feature not only simplifies presentation management but also ensures that teams can operate with greater efficiency, regardless of the environment they are working in.

### Export

On the Site Structure page, each tree node folder (root included) has the *Export* option in the contextual menu.

When selecting *Export*, the Page Builder creates a downloadable JSON file containing the definition of the selected folder and all its child folders and pages.
