Exporting content

From the Silva management area you can export a Document, a Folder or a Publication. If the exported file is imported into another Silva site, the complete hierarchy of Folders and Documents will be recreated.

To export a Document, Folder or Publication as XML

Navigate to the item you wish to export

Click on the publish tab located in the top navigation bar

Click on the export (alt-e) button located in the top right of the publish screen. You should now see the export form. (Fig. 1.)

Fig. 1. Export is a subscreen of the publish tab

You will see two or three options:

• Include sub publications?: check this checkbox if you want to export nested sub publications.
• Export newest versions?: the export will collect the text of published documents. If this checkbox is checked the content of the new versions (not yet published) will be exported.
• If multiple export formats are available, you'll be asked to select one.

You’ll receive a zip file. The file name includes the id of the item being exported and the date.

Save the zip file on your disk.
